It's to stop dirt entering between the ball and stud so they don't wear so much.

No idea of the part numbers but AE and Losi definately make it if you want nice neat ones otherwise you could try making your own out of a bit of foam.

Some say these hold muck against your balls, wearing them faster. I think it depends on the atmosphere - if its wet and muddy then they will soak it up, if dusty then they will defend grit getting to the balls.
