Getting really annoyed with the standard front camber links that pop off all the time, does anybody know of any aftermarket ones that will fit? Having trouble finding any that will clear the front shocks, cheers.

You can use a long ball stud on the caster block with a 2mm spacer, and then a 'normal' ball cup can be used and the turnbuckle will clear the shock :thumbsup:

Let us know how it works. I have the same problem. My rear tie rods popped off twice in my last race.

I've found the Losi grey "Extra rigid" cups to be the strongest of them all. That's what I put on my Durango DEX410 using AE TC5 long 8mm studs.

i switched to th pro ball sockets for the mi4, #U3500 on the shue site. they are better than the rpm rod ends.

RPM rod ends are the wrong fitment there for associated cars!

I ran them and lost out on two 1sts in rounds last sunday at the regional due to them popping off!

Changed to the MI4 u3500 parts now miles better! :D
