Link/rod end dimensions.

I'm looking at a new body for my TRX-4 and there are lots of options available with varying wheelbases. Many of the wheelbase changes can be accommodated by simply changing the link ends. I know that JATO link ends are longer while Revo link ends are shorter but it is hard to find out the actual lengths of the many link ends available.

Does anybody know of any place where we can find this information for link lengths from different manufacturers? Maybe it would be an idea for us to get together on this topic so we can make a list of dimensions for various link ends to help anyone wanting to make adjustments to their wheelbase. The only important measurement for that would be the distance from the inner end of the rod end to the center of the ball.

I buy from my UK supplier who lists the sizes. I doubt he's alone in that.
That said have a Google with, "rcbitz link end", plenty of options from 20mm upward.
I tend to buy longer and cut to size.

I have used 2 kinds for building links, traxxas part 5524 are about 25mm from center of the ball to the end. Traxxas part 5347 are about 17mm

So they would be the Jato and Revo ends. Thanks.
