Ball Joint Part Numbers
 
For those of you who are running RPM or Losi ball cups on your DB01/TRF501/511, can you tell me what make you are running with the part numbers too if you've got them please?

My balls are worn :woot: and as I have loads of RPM/Losi ball cups I thought it would be better to just replace the balls to suit.
Thanks!!

I can't help with part numbers but I was running Hot Bodies D4 balls on my 501X

I use:
LO-A-6015 (Losi white ball cups)
HB-61582 and HB-61581 (Hot Bodies ball studs)

Found them at rcmodel.com.hk

Thanks Jimmy & Fredrik, just what I'm after.
How do they compare pricewise to others?

I use the Hot Bodies studs and JConcepts cups on my 501. Just bought a set for my db-01 this week and it was £6.50 for each pack of balls (8 in a pack) and about £7 for a full set of cups. Only thing I found is that the tamiya cups have a lot longer arm than the Jc ones so theres not as much thread in the cup so its not quite as strong but I haven't had one let go yet so it can't be that bad.

Thanks, not bad then.
I already have the RPM and Losi cups, but realised last night that they don't fit the tamiya balls, it's good to know that they fit the HPI balls well.

Do the ball cups fit the standard 3mm thread turnbuckles?

Service is excellent... I always email Kenneth to ask the stock situation...


They are a perfect fit... I also use them on the entire steering rack and have almost zero tolerance for 2 months now... :)

Regards.
