Hi. Im after some new ball cups for my tm2 as I've a massive problem with them keep popping off!! I need long shank ones, and I quite like the rpm ones that come in a range of colours. However I made the most basic rookie mistake, and ordered a set before checking the measurements! Needless to say, they only fit 4.3mm studs and I need something that fits a 4.8mm stud.
Can anyone recommend me a company who produce a heavy duty version that preferably comes in a choice of colours please??
Thanks Darren

Not had a problem with the Team C cups myself but In terms of aftermarket parts id say go for the Kyosho cups from the RB6. The pack has 2 lengths of ball cup but the shorter ones are the same length as the Team C cups so you will have to check there is enough in the pack.

Yeah Kyosho are good and also Yokomo ones. Very rarely pop off.

You could always replace the ball studs with schumacher ones. They come in a range of lengths so should be easy enough to replace the ones you have.
I've used this combo before and had no probs... Plus you'll get to use the colour you want!!!

+1 for the Schumacher ball studs and RPM cups. Have these on my 410 and not had a single issue since.

Best by far are the ae ball joints from the RC10B2 which are also being used on their tc's. Never had one pop off. Length wise it is shorter than the B4 ball joints.

I use the AE TI nitrided metric ball studs with the rpm cups.
Think they are designed for the t6.
Multiple neck and shaft lengths, and no mucking about with imperial rubbish.
