The stock pushrods in the kit are fine... no problems with them at all.

My ARF had a problem with the stock push rod dragging in the outer housing. I ran Sullivan blue and gold nyrods through the existing outer housings. sand the ends of the blue outers where they exit the stock outers and use some medium CA to secure them. Work much smoother than stock rods.

That is interesting, as mine also worked just fine without ANY binding..

I just got a bad ARF. Have had to correct several flaws that the first 4 Star didn't have. The former at the rear of the wing saddle had almost no glue on it. and where the push rod housings were glued in, the former was pushed to the rear causing the housings to cross in the center of the fuselage behind the radio bay. I believe the dragging push rods were a result of the kink caused by being glued the way they were.
