It has been said that the ball cups that come in the kit are garbage and are of a different quality then the ones you can purchase off the wall. RPM ball cups IMO are garbage, they either bind or pop off too easy. I would always run the grey Losi cups in the rear (thats where i had issues bending/breaking the AE cups) and the AE cups in the front.
Is there a reason not to run the Losi cups up front? I've never tried them but if they work in the rear then let's just run them all around?

i had to cut about 3/16" off the losi cups so they fit properly on the car...i never had any issues really with the cups on the front of the car, just the rear...so that means less ball cups that i have to cut.

I hope RPM ballcups are not garbage. I've read dozens of posts that they are THE ballcup to use. I've got 4 sets of them ready to install on various cars/trucks and would hate to be disappointed in them.

Gotcha, I have the new JC turnbuckles and really hope their new ball cups get released soon. This would be a great area for someone like Avid to get into. I have a feeling an Avid ball cup would be awesome based off their other products and how they compare to "industry standard"

Stock cups can make it easier to get a perfect alignment from kit directions and a set of calibers
Tried all the others not any better the rpm
still use rpm but will be switching back to the Ae cups soon.

Ok, so quick question. On my buggy it is pushing wayyy to much in certain sections of our track barley clipping the pipe to get by, so my question is what can be done? I took the washers out from under the ball studs up front, but still pushing. Anything else I can try?
