During a race or practice, how often do you have a ball-cup pop off?

quite a lot, even with the RPM ball cups - though i'd rather that than breaking a hub or a wishbone.

there is a cure - don't crash :)

the JConcepts ball cups are pretty good!

Very rarely (jinxed myself now) I just use the standard balls/cups on all my cars!

Very rarely. Not one single time this season, but broken two wishbones. Maybe the RPM ballcups are too strong :)

once this year for me, and boy did they struggle to pop it back on!!!! Cheers Craig and someone else:thumbsup:.
The Jconcepts ones seem very good to me.

Personally I don't like them. They will and do pop out sometimes... I'd like to try ones with a ball (and eyelet) and a screw (like shocks shafts are secured).

Did anyone try already? Any part numbers that would be suitable?

in the same praccy I smacked the wall on the table-top 4.5 style

and I also planted a front wheel into the second hump on the double to pop a ball AND kill a driveshaft.

it was getting punishment you would have been proud of Paul :D
