snapped ball stud connectors trf 511

[m1buc]

hi, I was wanting to know if anyone knows where to buy some upgraded ball stud connectors. the size is 5x9mm (tamiya part no is 9805611). the ones supplied with kit don't seem to be very strong i have snapped 2 now. they always seem to snap flush with housing so you have to drill them out, a right pain.
i hope some one can help. many thanks.

You need to get some ti hotbodies cyclone ballstuds and losi size ballcups, i use the rpm ones. I can get you the part numbers if you want me too. Get some short and longer threads.

You can get hardened tamiya studs then keep standard ballcups!

Look on the trf511 parts page on trfracing.co.uk, it's the 5x8hard hex head connectors. Various HK places will have them in stock!

just before i order can any one just confirm this is correct part no 53969 and they are the right ones on trfracing.co.uk? it does not have photo and only say's

" Tamiya 53969 hard hex head connectors (2 packs)"

after looking around on net looks like they are black in colour and come in pack of 5???
