no problems with the ball cups here....2 cars...in my opinion the cups are great...i have heard reports of kyosho guys using losi ends, as they are better....
if you hit something hard enough, any end on the market will pop off....

drove my "brand new" 22 for the very first time last saturday..........rear ball cup popped off twice during the 4 batterys i ran that day but to the cars defence i was still getting used to the car and it happened in a crash.
on another note i was running dustins complete set up and i mean complete i was very carfule to run the entire set up including all needed parts and settings including ride hight, camber, and toe and i found the car pushed way too much for my liking hope i can get this thing to turn lol while at the track i tried to get used to the car that way i even lowered the front a littlt but it it pushed like a dump truck full of bricks in the back any ideas? i was running green bar codes on an indoor clay track

Did anyone replace the front camber block with the Alum. one? Did you reuse the 10mm long ball or use a shorter one?

I see a lot of people posting that they have someones setup and state it is not working for them . A pro`s setup is a good starting point and that is all . There are to many factors involved to make someone else`s setup work exactly for you and the track you are at .
Start with whatever setup is close to your tracks conditions . Then find the manual for the XXX-CR and print off the tuning guide in the back . This will help you decide which change to make for what you are fighting . Remember to only make one change at a time and then go try it for a few laps . It is also good to take a practice day to try different settings to see what they do .
Also , tires and inserts are the biggest setup difference . Doesn`t matter how your buggy/truck is setup if you don`t have the correct tires and inserts .

assembly issues ?
guys, just put together my 22 kit, but when i tried putting on the front shock tower and bulk head, the steering arm hit the underside of the tower.no matter what spacers i used on the steering servo, it would still hit.I had to dremel about 20thou off the plastic to allow the steering ballcup to complete its arc.I am using a Futab s9550 low profile servo.Has anyone else experienced this 
Also, there is nothing in the way of the shock setups in the manual.After i assembled all mine, the shocks seem to rebound rather quickly.is this correct or do i have too much air in them ? I have built the buggy to the book set up
Any tips appreciated for a noob !

I am about to order some lipos for mine and I am a little confused. I am looking at 2s but then I see 2p or 1p. I'm pretty sure that means parallel. My question is which is better? I am assuming 2p is better but figure I'll ask first.
