Default DF03 Camber links keep popping off :(

Hi Guys,

My sons fairly used DF03 keeps popping off camber links in even the slightest of hits/knocks. Do you guys know of any alternatives to the standard ball joint connectors that will make the car a little more durable?
Maybe something that allows a screw to be put through the top of it?

Cheers
Lycan

Don't know if the DF-03 has the ball-cup issues that the 501x has but ALOT of 501's go with RPM or Kyosho cups. Just look up the millimeter size of your cups in the part list and swap those out with RPM (I used Kyosho because my local track had them in stock for the Lazer, $3). Again, very common issue w/ the 501x's, I think the general opinion is they molded the inside diameter of the ball cups a hair too big for the ball studs they clip on. Hope this helps!!!
