Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls I, too, ordered the steel balls and the frame mounting plate while waiting for the kit. Great minds, Mike. Also ordered these since they just came into stock. https://www.associatedelectrics.com/...hubs_aluminum/ |

My Balls ? Or you mean the Enduro Balls of steel! They are 5.87mm (6mm) Length about 7.5mm. I did notice the shock balls are different size. Hang up and Drive |
Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls Those are the ones lol, Thanks! Quote:

As the truck is for the wife it will be only 2s, so I’m holding off on those for now. I did order the hard servo mount / skid and inner fenders. Im hoping they do ship on 7/11, but thats outa my hands! Hang up and Drive |
Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls Nice balls! I wouldn’t normally say something like that, but the do look mighty fine! I just ordered 2 sets of the balls and inner fender kit. I had originally had 3 sets of balls in my cart, then I realized that the shock balls were different so I ordered them balls too. That’s a lot of talk of balls! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Well I hate to break it to you Brian, but you’re 4balls short, as you need two sets for all 4 shocks! Brad Geck said two bags of each! Hang up and Drive |
Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls Quote:
Damn, you right! Now I need more balls! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls Quote:
Much better to replace plastic shock balls than replace worn out aluminum shock caps. Once sand and dirt get in there, it can grind out the shock cap pretty well. |
Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls Quote:
That was also my thought. Also grit can jam the ball . Hang up and Drive |
Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls Quote:
I agree also.[emoji106] Just a thought, back in the day on my RC-10’s, I used nitro fuel tubing over the mounting bolt. It gave it a nice cushion and let the shock move freely. For now my RTR has the plastic shock caps, so I will use the metal balls for now. I will get the alum down the road and use fuel tubing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
I’ve got (Steel) Balls Well the wait is getting to me, Did get my first batch of ProLine RC Paint...... I hope it sprays as good as it looks , thinnest WB paint I’ve seen, I see why pressure can be so low! But as my body and inner fenders have yet to arrive and its raining again, still, today..... I was bored so I decided to try a tape mask practice using leftover Tamiya paints, looks OK, Next two will be better! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6a11889bc5.jpg Hang up and Drive |

Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls So pulled the trigger, Direct from Associated, and cancelled the BO at A Main.... When I called yesterday Customer service guy(nope I'm not squeelin) at 5:00 eastern, he was going to talk to the buyer, and call Email me.... He didn't, so A Main lost out, and the rest of my goodies from them have already shipped. Looking like the enduro....is in sight! |
Re: Comduro Has Steel Balls! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...82afb4f240.jpg Getting closer! Only one part still coming before the kit arrives Monday Hang up and Drive |
Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls Gents, the steel balls on the lower shock eyelet is the standard ball - same as links. The shock mount ball on the tower is the extended version. Thinking one bag should do you... |

Hey Mike, how do you like that eco-power 120 servo? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
Re: I’ve got (Steel) Balls Quote:
VS 4 stock bumpers leftovers! Thats the remote that came with my Bullyll, only 4 channels, but no momentary switch. Thats the infamous Comanche body, as this builds name is the “ Comduro” |

Re: Comduro Has Steel Balls! Is the build going smooth? Are you going to put the 11% Overdrive in the tranny? Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk |
I’ve got (Steel) Balls Quote:
Yes to the 11% OD, trans is smooooth!! If i hadn’t built a number of rigs I would be confused! First issue was no indication of where to mount rear shock hoops, as I was doing long WB , no issue, other than furthest back. Link description was weird, the measurements helped. All in all a fun experience, small areas of confusion, but went together quite solid, i think the VS4 kit spoiled me! Now to go to the driveshafts and shocks!!!! Getting very close! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...13b031bb3c.jpg Hang up and Drive |
