Default 502 diff balls

HI guys,

I will be building my 502 soon and want to put in ceramic diff balls. I did this in my 511 and made big difference

can any one confirm, I think there are a 3/32 size with 12 balls in each diff ??

does any body know what the best grade is to get
(i.e grade 5, Silicone Nitride ) not sure what this means? or where I can get them from.?

thanks mike

Thanks for the recommendations guys!

Yep, you need 12x 3/32 - £7 posted at rcLazy.

We've also got a selection of Tamiya thrust races in stock too, for the 502/201 and 511/416

(And if you want to do your thrust balls in ceramic too, i think they are 1/16th in the 502? I can't remember!)
