Thanks

edit
Car is a associated 12r5.1 . Are all 1/12 scale steering ball links the same size? If so what are the preferred ball cups? The associated ones don't pop off but they have a fair bit of slop in them. I'm not opposed to starting with links that are tool tight and bind that you could size to fit.

Personally I just grab the ball ends and twist them around till them pop off. Mind you If I get slop in mine the change them out they are cheap.

And Yes there are different sizes depending on your car. for the Associated is the same as the crc and many others.
