Rod End Question

Post by TamiyaTony » Mon Mar 19, 2012 6:11 pm

Simple question here, what is the thread size for the RC10 Gold Pan shock shaft? I plan to get some aluminum rod ends, so I need the proper size (M3, M4, etc.) Thanks!

Thank you my friend. Does that mean it's an M4? Sorry for being a noob here.

Okay, I believe it's 4-40 and that's it. The "M" is for a different kind of thread. Thanks!

The M stands for metric threads, the rc10 uses standard American threads.

correct. it uses american thread, which is a number 4 machine screw. Coarse thread of 40 threads per inch, hence 4-40.

Does anyone know of a rod end with a 3mm hole? Not the part that screws in the turnbuckle but the hole that the screw goes in. I have a jrx2 and I just hatched a plan to almost eliminate the slop in the 5 link.

Ok thanks for the info.

HI!... Anyone know where I can get some of these ball rod ends? They have a ball on one end obviously but with a female nut on the backside that a screw goes into. I need two of them just like in the pic below.

Thanks :

Neal

Which rod ends do you guys prefer for use on your vintage RC10s?

Anything I can simply click and buy to upgrade over the original ball and cup ends?

While we are here is there any other minor item like this worth upgrading before my new...

Last post

The Losi ones are pretty damn nice, the short RPM ones are my favorite, the JC and AE ones are garbage after the first time you take them off- super soft and flexible.

Hello All,

First, I have searched both the forum and google with little luck

1. Does everyone run/install the little foam washers/dust covers between the ball studs and the ball cups on their turnbuckles?

2. Can anyone recommend a good source for...

Last post

I live in a humid area and I noticed on the cars I had them on, the bottom of the ball studs were rusting. This only happened with the ones that had the foam dust donuts on them, and only where the donuts touched.

This is good feedback. So the...

If I put a 10T front plate on and then just attach the standard widetrack arms (will be using Bart's Parts arms), am I going to have any trouble on geometry or steering clearance? Also will the standard turnbuckle lengths (CE/Team Car) still work?...

Last post

10T kick-up + Klien/Worlds arms + truck front bulkhead. Overall width ends up the same as a stock CE/Team front.

You would need a Worlds front tower, though in a pinch you could use a 10T front tower. Worlds tower is wider at the top than a 10T...
