Use the hacksaw to cut the aluminum tube to length. Use the wiring tool 6-32 hole to cut the threaded rod to length. The wiring tool slightly damages the threads on one side of the cut. I run these damaged thread back through the threads in the tool to clean the threads up. You may have to drill the hole in the Traxxas rod end a little bigger so the threaded rod will go in easier. Assemble. Done. EASY!
