Shock rod ends for 6S cars

[rcplanesareboring]

30 seconds in driving my new Notorious, I snapped the end of a front shock, part number ARA330608. What are my replacement options?

It looks like there are a couple of different Arrma manufactured upgrades and some aftermarket ones as well.

Pretty much sums it up.

The stock ones are probably the best by now and RPM are the cheapest in bulk.

I don't have a 6s, but many recommend Arrma Nero HD or Tekno shock rod ends.

Thank you. Just ordered some Nero ends. On a side note, is it normal to break something every time you drive your car? If so, I may need to go back to Traxxas 3S

Depends on what you do. Driving into a pole will certainly break stuff, never broken anything just bashing on flat surfaces. Bad landings etc will do damage but by all means it's 15lbs flying. You control the landings, all up to you, some (or a lot) skill and some luck.

The exb ends are great. But adjust your droop screws to prevent it happening again. If you don't it will keep happening no matter the type of end you get minus alluminum ends of course

I used the cheapo RPM ends for months and they worked way better than they should have considering the cost. I recently bought all new shocks for my Kraton 6S and the stock rod ends were on them, installed the M2C ZRS emulsion conversion kit and adjusted droop, seems to have solved my issues. When I inevitably break another shock rod end I'll upgrade to Nero HD as recommended by many in the community.

nero ends only broke one in maybe two years droop needs to be set right though
