Kraton Shock hd rod ends

[Exup]

Hi my v4 kraton took a good hit today and broke a rear shock rod end and the spring perch twanged off neaver to be seen again ☹ .does any body know if the hd shock rod end and perch set part number AR330409 will fit my v4 kraton or do i have to get 4mm shock shaft to complete that upgrade any help wood be much appreciated

Yes, a good upgrade to the rod ends is the NERO HD rod ends. part AR330409. Then use Tekno metal pivot balls. The Nero ends are Much beefier and don't break near as easy! Direct fit on your V4 shocks as well! All I use now! ?

Shoot. I just ordered another set of the tekno's as I busted one finally today. Landed on a garbage can from a half pipe. lol!

I knew there were some other ones that worked, but couldn't find the post.

Do the kraton v4 stock pivot balls not work in the hd rod ends? What's the part number for the tekno pivot balls?

The stock ones won't fit as they are too small plus plastic! I use Lunsford titanium ball bushings part #LNS7331 in the Nero HD ends. Another option now is the Mojave 6s rod ends. Super beefy! ?

Quite a few people recommend these - they're in my cart ready for a breakage ><

TKR6140C - Tekno RC Large Radius Locking Shock Rod End & Spring Perch Set

That's what I did. I have a Tekno Mt that confirmed it. Many do this. Never broke an end again. Yet. Knock on wood. But its been a year...no breakage. I also made sure to get the Tekno Balls. They were like $10.00 extra I believe. Some have said the Arrma balls work.

Do you feel one is better than the other and what balls would I need for the mojave if I got those?

I've busted a few so far, but the originals on my outcast only lasted 9 days. 3 were like this and one was busted:

The tekno's held up way better. I think I've broken 2 or 3 since 08/14/2018 on my outcast.

Was this with the LNS7331 balls? I can't seem to find the nero ends at amain so looking at the mojave ones...

Edit: NVM found it https://www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-nero-hd-shock-rod-end-set-2-ara330409/p635406

I was watching unrootedRC, and he was talking about metal shock rod ends for the K8S...

Has anyone tried this for the 6S vehicles? They look bad ass. I found these but they are crazy expensive: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/rod-ends/0382302/

I'd honestly rather have a shock end break than a shock shaft. Learned my lessen a long time ago with running alloy shock ends... just keep a few spare tekno's on hand that you threaded with a tap and your good to go.
