Rod Ends Asso Team? On B44 & B4.

[zaquiz]

I see the Asso team is using white rod ends at their B44 & B4. I am having problem myself with the standard one and was wondering which one they were using.

Thanks

They are probably using the Jconcepts ones.

They are ok but they are very stiff (on the thread) when new and can snap in an impact.

I have never tried the RPM ones but i know guys who swear by them.

I think WES uses them and he is a fast guy

same problem - I snapped a rod end on sunday... the track was pretty bumpy in places.

I couldn't find anywhere that stocks the kit rod ends, so I ordered a set of RPM strengthened ends from dms racing.

I was lucky that a fellow racer had a rod end spare, else it would have ended my day

Wes uses a Jconcepts body and the stock ball-cups also
I'm the one that uses the rpm ones.

Wes never breaks.

I've raced that pred of his many times, but Wes still likes the T4, just not the B44 like me.
I take that back he likes the B44, he just doesnt wanna own one, because he has a predator X10

I swear by RPM ones over stock AE or stock Losi, never used J Concepts ones though

The Losi heavy duty ones are great. Stiff without being too stiff. You can get them in white and grey and they fit the Associated balls just fine (oooer )

I prefer them to the RPM ones.

Brian read your post again and then reconsider to see whether it makes any sense. Does Wes run a predator with a Jconcepts body or a T4 or lusts after a B44 or WHAT?!?!

He's probably not as fast as Xgod though because he eats ham sandwiches...

I gotta aggree with dan i used rpm ones on my b4 never ever had a problem with them but since i went to losi i have tried the black ones the grey ones and the white ones the white ones were rubbish the black ones and the grey ones are about te same on performance but they grey ones look nicer.

Lunsford has the best ones imo. They are not soft, not too hard, they have very little play, don't wear, don't pop off. I got them together with titanium turnbuckle kit, but can be bought seperately also.

RPM ballcups = BRILLANT!!!!!

Plus the white ones are dyable so you could always have pink ballcups!!!!
