AE small ball cups
 

I need some AE small ball cups that you used to find on the original RC10’s these are tiny by todays standards but are needed for clearance on several parts of the car.

If anyone has any new ones (inc shops) I’d be interested, preferably black but if new not essential.

dude.... i threw a bag of short old school ball cups last week

have you not asked cml if they have any in stock

Are you talking about the ones with like they have on the ajustable steering link on the b4 the one that goes from the servo to the steering lincage. If so the part number is 9170 thats for two ball cups but you also get the little threaded bar bit as well. Is this for your belt tension mod ???

Lets let dan tell us why he wantes them and leave the post jacking for today :)

Dude, gutted :(

Ash thanks anyway but it's the properly small AE ones from the original RC10 I want for my shelf queen RC10 I've nearly finished restoring (has chunky blue RPM ones which don't look right) They are the same kind of size as the steering link but longer to accept more thread.

The optima is the car being raced this year, the RC10 to look all shiney on the end of the table ;)

are they the same size as the rc18 series? if not, then why don't you just replace the cups and the balls with regular sized ones.

thats why he cant ..

put spacers under them. if you put the sam amount on the inside and outside it wont affect performance.

You tried the AE website Dan, normaly got lots of random stuff like that there, or tower hobbies?

Performance isn't an issue, it is appearance that is important.

Hi dan i think i have a solution

The ball cups on a tc4 are only short 15mm from one end to the other i have taken a picture of one of mine for you.

are these the babies Dan?? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LX2506&P=OW

Ive found the original part number 6259

Thanks guys,

I can't just space them out as they aren't all vertical and it would just look all wrong. Original (style) are the way to go but I G promised on the weekend to sort me out some OEM ones :)
