Default Turnbuckle Rob Ends

Stupid question and has prob been answered

My 511 rod ends keep coming off

I see loads of 511/502's going round with white rod ends
What are they?

Thanks for any help

I've used these for a couple of years.

Replace all the front ones with these (one pack will do) and you'll never pop another balljoint again.

You can use losi ball cups but you need to replace the ball joints. I now use the hardend tamiya ball joints with the grey tamiya ball cups.

I had both a tamiya 501x and Durga and rather than replacing the rod ends i replaced the metal ball studs with the Kyosho ones off the Ultima/Lazer.

These seem a very tiny bit bigger and what it did was take out all the slop and stop the standard rod ends from popping off

Worked great, and cheaper than replacing both rode ends and ball studs, which you'll have to do if u switch over to Losi 4.3mm size
