NERO HD shock rod ends

[Spartan1175]

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has used the HD shock rod ends (AR330409)
With the stock shock rods on the NERO at all?

I did and it failed

I used the HD ends after I snapped both rear shock ends. With the the "slip fit" between the rod end and lower spring perch, they seem stronger. Definitely more material around the threaded part, which has to help prevent the threads from stripping. Replaced all four ends, and I haven't had any trouble after a few battery cycles. Although, I did move the shocks to the inner most mount, which added some clearance between the shock perch and the rocker arm. With the stock or HD, I'd try the inside mounting holes to prevent the lateral force on the shock shaft and end.
