Turnbuckles and ball cups

[G_bruin]

How do you guys remove the turnbuckles and ballcups from the ball ends? I have the darndest time trying to get it off of my TC3 whenever I need to change something. What are your secrets. I tried using a screwdriver to wedge in between but it is ruining my ballcups.

thanks.

Yet, they easily pop off when you are in the lead, at the track, lol. I am with you, they are a pain. To be honest, after I have popped them off more than 2 times(3 max), I replace them. Because after that, they tend to pop off too easily on their own.

good point... Hadn't considered that yet since I just got into R/Cs and am trying to get used to it before I venture out to my closest track...

thanks!

Grab 'em with a pair of pliers and twist.

Get yourself a small pair of wire strippers (radio shack) place under cup and pry up, works get for me.
