Ceramic diff balls
 

Basically
The question is ansmann ceramics or buds balls ?

RudeBits are the best but unfortunately more money

Do they fit a ansmann and can you bring them to silverstone tony

Hi Lee

I am not at Silverstone for a few weeks.
Here is the direct link to all the diff balls http://www.rudebits.co.uk/index.php?cPath=111_186 so just order in the shop and we will put in the first class post for you
All the best for now

Thats a bold claim to make I don't think they are the best as you don't even understand the grading come on abec 7 balls ? there is no such thing if your going to claim one is better than the other at least have proof.

The difference is I'm not in it to make a huge profit as I don't really need to unlike some folk. I think it's a real shame for you tony to resort to making un educated assumptions just to get a £10 sale

Please base your comments on facts and not just greed:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

Pm me lee I'll send you the diff balls and thrust balls for free just for the cheek of him!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I ran buds balls in both my Ansmann team cars all year without any need for a change, and they was still super smooth when i sold the cars.

:thumbsup:

Everyone appreciates that there are people more knowledgable or experts with balls but you're always going to get mixed reviews on what people find when using them, you'll typically only hear the bad stuff!

I was very glad that Buds balls sent me some to try in my X2c and the X4te and I had no need to change them AT ALL!!
I did have to replace plates but never these balls.
I now have them on my other car and they have been in there since I built it (Feb).
Very happy with Buds Balls and I will use them as long as I can.
Buds Balls RULE!!!!!!!!

Where can I find the Buds Balls for the X2C? I cannot find the reference on the website.
Thanks!

I can vouch for Dave's Balls too :woot: they are i have to say the business.

Diff rebuilds ive done yes, only because they are contaminated, but i always use the same balls, both thrust and diff and they are still super smooth! That said Kyosho balls are pretty damn good too!

Cheers

A vote for Rude balls here!

Top quality just like all the bespoke products Rudebits sell! There are lots of very happy top racers that use his products, so you can't argue with that fact!

Also an advertiser on here so a supporter of the forum :)

I know what you are saying kev tony has shown true originality with some of his top class products in the past but now he seems to want a bit of everyone else's pie come on "rude balls".

It's all about the profit with you guys. I'm successful I'm my chosen profession and don't need to make money Out of what I do on here it's just a service I provide for racers not trying to make a fortune unlike others

Let's stop the sillyness I've corrected Tony's first reply to what he should of put. After all as ry put its Tony's opinion and not fact!!!

Regards

Buds

The end

I agree that is a bold claim considering most of the "super star" drivers as you put it are using buds balls and with most of the uks shops supplying and selling them very well what evidence have you got to produce other than maybe being used in a couple of DB1s of your own team??

Saying things like this on live forums as you have done before gets people's backs up as you know.

If yours are the "best" I am sure that when people try them off there own backs people will find out, but in the current market budsballs are the market leader in terms of performance and value for money in most peoples opinions.

I've been running Buds Balls since he first started selling them (about 2 years ago). Guess what, I'm still on my first set! Same car running at least once a week, mostly twice. Thats got to be a good example of the quality of Buds Balls.

Oh No! I'm running Lazy Rc ceramic balls in my X2C! Does this mean I'm a poor relation or not running the appropriate kit. Ha! They are good too!

There's only one bloke claiming to have the " BEST" the rest of us just call them ceramic balls

Hi Lee

Steven's car has Bud balls too and they are super smooth. You can check them out Tueday if you wish :woot:

Mike

Rc domination has good stock

Lee, its buds balls that i have in my B4, TC5 and what I put in the Mad Monkey that Martin now has.

There's only one real way to sort this..... show us your balls!! ;)

That somes it thanks everyones imput theres a lot of diff balls vareity all i wanted was some better than the standard kit ansmann nitride balls
It seems this thread got a bit out of control and stuff like
This could scare a beginner (which is likely to happen considering its a ansmann thread) i understand where everyones point of view is from
I will try a variety of ball brands to see which ones i personally prefer

Cheers
Lee :)

Try both and report back!. A proper ball off!

ceramic balls that work best for pressure loaded bearings are made of Si_3Ni_4. If you want to have the best possible quality you can get balls with better tolerances. Most balls you can buy from rc companies are grade 3 or 5 but I know some 12scale guys using grade 25. Havent seent anything better than 25 but you will be fine with any grade 3 or 5 balls.
If you want the best balls possible the limit should be grade 1000 afaik. No idea how much they cost but pretty sure its nonsence for rc :)
to answer your question:
I wouldnt spend much time thinking about it, both will do the job. I had some Team C ones, tehy should be the same as Ansmann and they are great too. Get those you can get cheapest and fastest. You can use them in most cases at least one year nonstop racing.

I'll take the
Pepsi challenge with any of the others

Yep il happily put a set up too the test!

Moose, ball grades go down wards. So grade 3 is far better than grade 25!

You may be referring to bearing abec rating

Lee,

Sorry your thread has been hijacked!! If your are using the standard balls then i reccommend going for tungsten carbide! they last longer and don't give a complete diff failure when they go! Ceramic are smooth but are easily damaged.
As you can tell asking for best manufacture is a complete mistake here!
:yawn:

wow missed this? Buds balls RULE,

And supporter of the forum nice dig, But when the mods Re invent the forsales area for a small Fee we, all in the forsale area will be a supporter of the forum.:lol:

I was given a set of buds balls to try and they seem very smooth
when the diff was fresh it felt a bit lose but they tighten which was strange however now they have bedded in they are really good and make my car a awful lot easier to drive
