RC linkage rods for DIY models

Two M3 aluminium-alloy and stainless-steel rod ends measure 18 mm overall with a .7 inch equivalent. Each piece has an M3 bottom thread and a 3 mm ball-head hole sized for M3 screws and nuts. The pair is intended as spare or upgrade hardware for radio-controlled cars, crawlers, boats and helicopters.

Suits hobbyists repairing steering

Builders who need metric M3 threads and a 3 mm ball stud will find these a direct fit. Pilots requiring imperial threads, larger ball diameters or adjustable-length turnbuckles should look at other hardware.

Simple press-fit onto threaded rods

Screw the M3 shank into the tie rod and secure the ball stud with an M3 nut; no special tools are required. The only common issue is cross-threading the fine M3 pitch if the rod is forced, so start the threads by hand before tightening.

Questions about this item

What M3 threaded tie rods do I already need to attach these 18 mm linkage rod ends?

The bottom thread is M3, so any tie rod with an M3 male thread will screw directly into each rod end.

Will the 3 mm ball head holes accept the M3 screws and nuts from my older RC crawler steering links?

Yes, each ball head hole is 3 mm in diameter and is designed to fit standard M3 screws and nuts used on older steering linkages.

How can I confirm the two adapters are installed correctly after assembly?

Check that the total length measures 18 mm and that each ball joint moves freely without binding when the steering or control linkage is cycled.
