Don't you guys pop off the rear ball cups every time you have to clean/rebuild the outdrives and the diff? Maybe I'm OCD or doing things back asswards, but I clean my outdrives after every weekend of practice and rebuild the diff as necessary. That means popping off the rear ball cups (on one end of the link) at least once per week. So, I expect wear.

and i didnt even tune the car so it was box stock.
so the main conclusion is that the JC ball cups suck!
and its not the first time im disappointed from there products.
Are you using limiters in your shocks? Are you popping off on landings or during flips/hits? I'm curious, as others don't seem to be experiencing this issue. I guess I'll be trying mine soon and see for myself.
