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 29-08-2009 10:30 PM

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

The kit ballcups work perfectly with Kyoso ballstuds :thumbsup:

Got a part number dude?

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

DCM 30-08-2009 09:48 AM

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 03-09-2009 04:23 PM

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 17-09-2009 08:13 PM

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 17-09-2009 09:09 PM

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 13-11-2009 03:48 PM

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.
