Default metal rod ends??

over the weekend i broke two stock rod ends on my t-maxx...i have been lookin around for metal ones, but i cant find any...it would make sense for these to be metal right? the tie-rods bend also, which i could straighten them or get titanium replacements. someone please tell me if they make metal rod ends!

I checked the link for "rod ends" there is nothing there that will work for you, they are all to big, the smallest was 6mm, and I believe your tie rods are 3mm X .5
I haven’t had a lot of problems with the rod ends on my trucks.
The plastic rod ends are cheep and easy to replace. I wouldn’t worry about metal rod ends.

thanks ya'll! yes they are easy to replace, but why not buy somethin that you would probably never have to replace again? more play less work!
