So I had MC rod ends installed on my RC control arms to replace the crappy rod ends RC had equipped it with originally to design.
I was told by some that it had not been done, or that it was just simply not worth it. There was minimal information online about doing this mod so I had to figure out most of details of how this would actually work out.
I went with the Forged Duroflex Joint, 2 5/8" X 5/8" BH X 2 5/8" Housing X 1 1/4" Straight Shank for the lower control arms

Some slight modifications to the frame had to be done but it was nothing too major, all that had to be done to fit these rod ends were to spread the ears on the mounts just a little to make it all fit.
If anyone is thinking of going MC but doesn't want to spend a lot of money on the whole control arm I definitely recommend doing this if you run RC control arms. The ride feels exponentially better than what it did before. I have been running on these rod ends for a few weeks now so I will report back if I start to notice anything weird going on; such as the MC ends wearing out too fast.
