RPM rod ends

[spiro]

Please advice;

I'd like to run RPM rod ends on my links, but they only come in inch measures that won't fit the metric Kyosho ball-studs. I guess that means I'd have to change the ball-studs to associated ones. Will they fit the RB5 all round?

Thanks!

If you want studs with AE sized balls then you need HotBodies or Yokomo studs, they are metric thread (to fit the car) and will fit ae/losi size ball cups

The ball cups that come with th RB5 SP and ZX5 FS kits are pretty much the same as RPMs but in metric. Dunno when they'll be available in the UK though, I keep pestering them for some...

Otherwise the ones that come with the TRF 501/511 will also fit.

Maybe they've received them since but as of last week there weren't any...

I did a search for hot bodies studs on google...

Let's just say the searchresults wasn't all RC related....

If you search through this Kyosho section you will find post from me listing the relevant part numbers and positions.

As Fab says there is no need to change the latest generation of Kyosho ball joints.
