ball end problem

[primuswoostinkinhoo]

i have a problem popping off ball ends on my t3 and my xxxnt. i once heard something about captured ball ends can i use those would it be any better?

[TC3Racer]

are you having trouble getting them off, or keeping them on? on my T3, it happens to pop the ball cup quite often. RPM makes some blue captured ball cups that look cool and work! i haven't gotten any on mine yet, but i will very soon.

Dude stay away from the RPM ones.....they look great don't break but they DO pop off easier than ANYOTHER ball cup......I only have a problem on the rear on my xxxnt so I put RocketCity Enclosed ends on..they are the $hit.......I know I will break something b4 a ball cup comes off LOL. They are prcey though......3 bucks for package of 2 with hardware. I am in process of getting front ones just to be SAFE....Also Traxxas (ugh) makes same thing only they are a little shorter and may not work as well on the rear but may work great on the front....AND theay are like 5 bucks for 12 I think.....

where can i get those ball ends u speak of, nitro? i want em bad. the rear of my xxxnt costes me races all the time, and on the t3 the fronts dont stay on at all, it odnt help that my 12 yr old sister is racing but still she would win if it would stay on

Like for hte shock tower mounts.....you have to put 1 washer between screw head and ball and thread that in with nothing else....so you can't use the supplied nut but it will be FINE...on the hubs I did it the same way but used the nut to secure it for SURE. You can figure it out just take your time and email if you have questions

[primuswoostinkinhoo]

thanks man i just ordered some

[NitroRacer10]

Sweet......goodluck!

[NitroRacer10]

Did you understand how I said to mount em?? If not I can send a pic tomorrow...Oh and one more question,,you know anyone wants a Trinity/Picco with picco exhaust and picco header with about 1/4 gal though it?? I need to sell soon cuz I got a new RB and need a temp gun now

I use RPM ballcups, and I've never had one pop off... When I take a hard hit something will break instead.

[NitroRacer10]

GRudly..no offense but you must be GOD LMAO....EVERYONE at my tracks has QUIT running them cuz the stink!

[B3Tyler]

the stock AE ones work fine for me...

[primuswoostinkinhoo]

yeah ihad rpm on my xxxnt the front holds up good but the back ***** , when i come off the tripple even slightly wrong they pop off and some times the whole rod comes off and i have to go look for it, and on my sisters t3 the front steering links dont work for crud when they are not attached which they arnt everytime she jumps

[Grudly]

Hehe maybe I just got some magic purple ones... I remember when i first got them they were so tight that my arms wouldn't move up and down freely, I had to pop them off and on like a dozen times to loosen them up a bit. :p

I had losi yellow cups on my xxxnt and never had one pop off.
