JE Spares sell them, search for RPM , they're 4-40 heavy duty rod ends , available in black, blue, yellow & white
I run them with Schumacher ball studs on a very bumpy grass track , and haven't had one pop off yet !! |

Oh , just make sure you get the "long shank" ones !!

I just use the normal HD ones and kit ball ends, don't have any problems with them.
Probably cursed myself for saying that now

likewise. obviously if you're bashing into track markers they will pop off, but otherwise it rarely happens.

I am running the SC10 ball cups connected the Hobao 8th scale turnbuckles with Associated HD Ti nitrate ball studs.
The thing is like a tank on steroids, no mission of anything coming away. Plus the ball cups spins nice and free on the studs despite the tight fit If you wanna see pics to see how it looks i can post. |
