I have tried the greasing of the threads when screwing the ball cups on and working them so they are not as tight, but it is ruining race days with them keep popping off. Any other brands that people have used or recommend ?

Hi Steve
I mentioned the ball cups popping off. It's strange, because I found when I first got my '15 I had several occasions when they popped off - never seen this in other kits. But since the first few times racing the buggy I no longer see this problem. Maybe I am a better driver now - XRay kits do make you a better driver because they are so awesome to drive
I did purchase Kyosho ball cups along with turnbuckles but never fitted them. You need the Kyosho turn buckles too as they are a lot thicker than the XRay ones. You also need the studs, the neck is longer or shorter - can't remember which on the Kyosho.
The '16 car has the same turnbuckles and cups.
Cheers
