People have mentioned Xray ball cups work. AE sells longer tie rods if you need them. Check out this link for the part numbers of the longer tie rods

You can try other ball cups but if the tie rod is too short of the link position you have all plastic ball cups will bend. The Kyosho ball cups have been outstanding for durability and fit. These are some of the best ball cups I have ever used.
