I also run the rpm ball cups and I have had no pop offs and they can take a beating for sure, withhold much better than the twam associated stock ones

I have never had a RPM cup pop off. I used to bend the AE ones quite a bit. I'm not that bad either.

Do most of you guys run on clay?I run mine mainly on carpet and they have popped off quite a bit for some reason.I have broken several ae ballcups only on the rear for some reason but i give them away at the track for free anyways.

Im the fastest at my local track so far and i run the calibers on the carpet along with the ae sway bar kit with the medium bar(silver) and it runs greatits just if a ballcup pops off on the rear hub it is a pita to pop back on.lol.

That reason is because all the weight is in the rear. More force on the rear ball cups.

Excellent! I will hang on to them then and possibly use the money elsewhere. +1 on the rpm ball cups. Anyone have.any experience with the Associated FT heavy duty cups? I think they are the ones that you dont have to remove to tighten the ball. Curious about how heavy duty they really are

I dont beleive there is any 4-40 drilled ball cups for 1/10 stuff stuff out right now from AE... Most are just drilling the cup. They have them for the sc104x4 but im pretty sure they have a larger turnbuckle.
