Hot Racing Sway Bar Slash 2wd
First, I am a new user and hope I have posted correctly.
I have a Hot Racing Sway bar kit for the Traxxas Slash 2wd and need a replacement link end for one of the mounts. It is the nylon part that holds the ball pivot mount that holds the bar. I contacted Hot Racing and it will be a special order that contains one complete link for 9.99 plus shipping. I paid $23 for the whole kit shipped.
Does anyone know of any other link ends that will work? Traxxas Slash/ Jato ends will not.
Also my rear bar makes contact with the gear cover and others say theirs do not any ideas why?
Thanks

More Info
I have discovered by trial and error that:
Traxxas GTR Shock ends do not fit. The end is the same length and the opening is the same diameter but is thicker through so the pivot ball does not swivel or turn.
The hollow ball on the arm mount end must be aluminum because when I tried to remove it to use that end to hold the pivot ball it deformed very very easily.
I was able to but the pivot ball in that end successfully and use the GTR end to hold a Jato hollow ball for the arm mount end. The hollow ball swivels very freely and time will tell whether it will pop out under stress. Until then this was a $2 fix that will allow me to use the other arm mounts as spares for the pivot ball ends.
Anybody try Losi ends?
