These are decent. Rod ends can rip off on jumps/ hvy springs or crashes as there are no downtravel limiters on the Revo, and the shock ends take it. Had a problem a few years ago and these took care of it. Bit of a pain to get in tho.

There are tiny bearings in the shock end and the brass things are bushings to act as spacers to fit in the rocker arms properly. My bearings eventually failed after a couple years, so I used a vice to press some 3mm spacers into the hole, and just ditch the bushings. They were the spacers included w/ the tie rods for the bearing carriers for bumpstop adjustments. I only ever used one setting (the tall hollow ball) and put the spacers to use.
