Ive got all my stuff here ready to redo my B4 on sunday and in my hands I have some white RPM Ball cups, Id just like to know whether anyone has tried them and what they think of them. If not Ill just have to tell you all how they are.

White? Never seen those, however I swear buy the RPM ones. The stock AE ones are whack, play when new and then start to fall off. RPM ones will have less play after a years use!

I run them on my X5 too, deliberatly bought oversize Lunsford turnbuckles so I could use the RPM AE sized ball ends.

Aye dan, they look well smart, will look trick with the blue titanium AE turnbuckles. Its just deciding whether to run the AE ones till their paggered or just whack the RPM ones on now.

I use these also. Better than the original ones, and you can dye them fancy colours:D

I dont think they will stay white for long, just go muddy brown after a bit of use and look awful. I use RPM black ones. Never had one come off during a race..

If you were Neil Cragg and turned up for a race meeting with white ball cups, that had been used and gotten dirty, would you look KOOL even if you won the day? The point being made was... Rpm ball cups are a great investment to people who have old worn cups that need replacing, they are probably better than the kit supplied ball cups. White rpm ball cups will get dirty when used on an off road buggy that goes off road.! I think someone was just commenting that white is not the best choice of colours for a buggy!. :rolleyes:

Yes, but you can clean them, its not that much effort. Plus, Ive never really raced in the proper mud before. I race indoor at our club and any outdoor is in the summer so not much chance of em getting ruined. I cant believe your saying having dirty white ball cups isnt cool, its a ball cup!
