Lunsford Super-Duty turnbuckle and ball cups fit right on the 4.8mm Losi ball studs and will solve all your popped ball cup woes.

I have yet to pop one in months of running them on my DESC, a much faster and heavier car than a 22T.

the TLR ball cups have proven to be pretty awesome. Not sure anyone makes any better ones. I know a few Kyosho guys have switched to the TLR ones. The super duty might work. Most of the time it is a result of the wheel rubbing on the ball cup.

Blue Bar Codes/M4 Suburbs in the rear and Pink Tapers/SS Switches in the front works really well for me!

MC Suburbs all the way around with stock foams.

I was running pink BK Bars, but can't get my hands on any more. This is my first time running Proline's MC compound on a hard packed, indoor track with med bite.

I love it. Steers for days and will pull wheelies on command. Plus they wear better than BKs do.

thanks
This might help, but have not tried it for myself, its worth a try.

Kyosho cups

but for mine, i havent encountered any popping of cups. YET. but you may want to lossen up on the nut, once you feel its hits the last turn, then you want to stop Tightening the nut.

Just a little FYI, raced this weekend for the first time with the new truck, and it handled like a dream i had a little issue landing and my rear end kicking up but it was resolved imediatley by turning out the shock ends 2.5 turns, beat two kyosho's to take the top spot....great work TLR!!
