I've not seen a part number yet. I'd like to know cos the Tamiya black ones are rubbish.

If I don't see the Tamiya grey ones coming out soon it'll be a set of black RPM ones for me!

[simoncrabb]

Oh hang on though, do RPM ones fit Tamiya balls?

[T4miy4 Guy]

extremely tight fit! so no..:thumbdown:

Tamiya trf touring cars have grey ball cups. Do you think its them?

The kit ballcups work perfectly with Kyoso ballstuds :thumbsup:

Got a part number dude?

[jimmy]

Touring cars don't have such long ball cups do they?

[DCM]

they have grey ones, but not long ones, such as these new ones.

I think Kyosho has their balls, studs and cups in 4.8mm, 5.8mm and 6.8mm sizes. You used the 4.8mm?

Strange the HPI/Hotbodies ballcups fit the tamiya studds too.
Took the ones off my e-firestorm. You can also use the AE turnbuckles
with the HPI ballcups, dont even need threadlocker.:thumbsup:

Could you use longer turnbuckles to mitigate the length issue?

[jimmy]

But then you don't get the range of adjustment - wait for the new ones, I would think they'll be out soon! I have some on my car! :thumbsup:

[jhammond]

Still hoping they'll be out soon. Running out of the trailer-trash black kit ballcups and really like the look of those grey ones!

[pugs]

well I've never had a black one pop off!!! I broke the ball stud and the end of the ball was in the black cup, did have some pop off on the 501x though....

I would gather the kyosho ball cups, not the normal ones, but the hardened ones would be your best bet.

UM112H New Hard Grey Ballcups

[B44&501xRacerEX]

If the track has some I'll pick up some kyosho ball-cups for my car.
I'll find out sunday morning. They did have some kyosho stuff the last time I was there.

Have to agree with both the Durga I had and my current 501x I have never had a ball cup pop off and it's not like I haven't give them chance!

[B44&501xRacerEX]

I've had a ball cup pop off at practice but never at a race.
But it would be good to put something stronger on the car anyways.
Wish I could find some schumacher ball cups, those things are strong.
A local guy had them on his 501x car once, but my tracks dont usually stock schumacher stuff so he had to have bought them online.

All I remember was them being light grey colored, and very hard.

The Kyosho ballcups seem to be 4,8mm and Tamiya ones 5mm. Do the Kyosho ballcups still fit ok?

[Carno]

Grey Tamiya ones are the same part number. No way to know when you order them if you'll get new or old stock.:(

Unless you call in and make sure, if they are even available separately yet.

But that is why I personally was thinking about ordering the Kyosho ones if they fit.
