Status: offline 		I'm building a 1:5.5 True Scale Trophy Truck. I figure crawler dudes are the best to ask about ball joints. And I know you guys can appreciate a scale build. Ok.......we're talkin Twin Nitros powering a straight axle rear. Using 1/2 square stock steel for my lower links. I ordered a couple Baja 5b joints to try out but I really want steel. Any one know??? Here's a couple pics for ya on one photoshopped pic

I have many 6-32 ends on my truck, and they are high-strength steel:




Edit: I posted the image with the old suspension mount (ugly )

I am not the same member who posted about the Baja (and I'm not a dude, either )

I have ordered many parts from McMaster. They are a fantastic supplier, but a bit excessive on the shipping for smaller orders.

The 6-32 rod ends were roughly $7 each.

Also, I don't make parts for other people.
