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!

The kit ballcups work perfectly with Kyoso ballstuds

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

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.

Could you use longer turnbuckles to mitigate the length issue?

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!

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!

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

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.
