Im building a derby car and was wondering if anyone knows where I could find scale ready rod. Thanks so much

In 1:24/25 scale, you might just have to use metal or styrene rod- I've never been able to find anything that truly resembles ready rod in that scale. I've tried twisting two smaller wires into one so the resulting rod will have a bit of texture like ready rod has, but it isn't a 100% match. It looks okay if you don't move in too close.

i built one car with actual ready rod and the rod itself dnt look big but when i put the nuts on it it makes it look too big. maybe i can try finding smaller nits for it or i kno i could get some solid brass rod thats pretty small. thanks for the wire idea i might have to try it also
