cant find axial aluminum pivot balls

[joshsmith512]

I used to use axial brand aluminum lightweight pivot balls in my lightweight comp days, but have searched google and rcc search and can no longer find them. Any chance someone remembers the part number or can hook me up with a link. Thanks

Noob question, I've got worn out plastic balls but my fear is where they insert is worn out too.. Is there a more durable option to put the aluminum balls in?

do you mean besides new rod ends?

these are my choice on rod ends, long, massive, take standard balls like as above,

can be used with 4mm, 5mm, 8-32, 10-32, 10-24, threads. perfect if you want
to make your own links

I would keep away from the all metal (aluminum ) rod ends - lots of money for
questionable improvements ( mostly in the amount of articulation ), dubro rod ends
are nice but you have to use the conical spacers to get full swing. I use them for
the tie rod link in the steering since they do not need as much articulation.
