Another option I have seen someone do is used the captured ball ends like how the sc10 4x4 does. I don't know though what parts he used exactly to do it, but that eliminated the problem for him.
65mm turnbuckles
the ball studs on the 4x4 and the ends.

I can post part #'s when I get home.

I have them on my truck. They are awesome. It allows you to unscrew the ball stud from the hub in back to make diff adjustments or whatever else is needed without popping the ball cup off and "weakening" the connection.

Do you need virgin plastic to do this ball stud mod? (assuming a thread issue with the stuff being metric I believe)

It will thread right in.

Take note. The ball stud is larger so you will have to adjust roll center to it.

it also will just re-thread the hole due to it being a little larger

Use pin driv rear wheels all around?

When I got my kits, i noticed the ball studs still had manufacturing lube on them. I cleaned all of them with motor spray and put each in a drill, and spinning it while wiping it with a rag.

I also threw out the AE ball cups, they stretched way too quickly, and I have been using the RPM ball cups.

Anyone running a tekin rs and 13.5 combo? I just found out my local track is now considering 13.5 a mod-motor so I'm going to start using boost etc...... Basically what gearing are you running on yours and what settings on the esc? Thanks

An 81/23 with average boost is what we used to run at OC/RC when boost was still available to stock, and "super stock drivers".

So the track you are going to run at will allow you to run SC tires?
