I am looking for some metal rod ends for my crawler.
Where is the best place to buy these to replace all my plastic ones.
And of course looking for the best buy. Thanks

The best place to find those are in my butt hole along with that box of nerds that the stripper lost!!!!!!

use Revo or Jato rod ends. They use 8-32 threading and are really strong!!

for my KOH RC tuber I'm building.

14.5" wheel base. I need to machine some long ass driveshafts too.

Alot of people say the metal ends fail pretty quick, especially on a rig that gets used.

I just have a few plastic ended ones that are stripped out or cracked so I was gonna replace them with metal mecause it is less likely to strip out
