Can someone send me a link for a scx10iii pan hard bar? Possibly with the ball ends already installed? I can't find a place the has the bar with the ball ends installed. And if I do put the ball ends in what tool do I need?
Sorry guys I just wanna make sure I order everything I need and its the right stuff.

* edit, sorry didn't read that clearly, I'm not seeing the panhard with pivot balls installed either after 45 seconds of google

Panhard bar and links & Axial Pivot Balls
You can screw in the rod ends by hand, they just get tight and somewhat hard on the fingers toward the end. They make shock plier and rod end tool kits specifically for this purpose - I haven't used one myself, but I do use shock pliers to hold the shaft and a wrench to screw it in the last 1/4"

Inserting the pivot balls is easy, there's a very subtly larger opening on the plastic rod ends, pop the ball in from that side, seat with pliers or back of a screwdriver, larger 8-10mm nut driver, socket etc, just a little force and space to clear the pivot ball and push the plastic over the ball

The pan hard bar on a main hobbies comes with two rod ends, but no pivot balls. Are the pivot balls all the same? And what tool do I need to get the pivot balls in the bar?
