Default Losi ball cups on 501X

Will the original tamiya ball stud fit the Losi ball cup? and will the orignal turnbuckle fit on Losi ball cup? THX

I tried this Eddie, and it was really tight...so tight the ball cup wouldn't move at all!

I had to fit Losi ball studs in order to use Losi cups.

I'd agree with Jimmy on this. The losi ball studs are imperial and although can be made to fit in the metric threads of the TRF, they tend to come loose a lot and the fit is less than ideal plus not good for the thread obviously.

Not mate, they have been fine. I've only used them with the HB ball cups myself (on the 501X). The same car has the losi white cups on now but it's not been used since being rebuilt.
