the rods are simply a key to long range transmission of chakra. but as you can see from the war naruto didn't need chakra receivers to transmit chakra long range. so someone of equal ability should be able to do do said visual linking without the rods IE madara. naruto was even able to telepathically communicate after sharing his chakra and even granted others the ability to use the Rasengan temporarily. so wouldn't it be logical that madara could easily use the Rinnegan's shared vision ability to share with obito even without the rods and if the rods. not to mention the Rinnegan can create the rods out of thin air
