| Stock Link Pivot Balls
Looking for a source for the correct pivot balls for the stock links. I picked up a MRC with the DP torsion chassis that I'm not really digging. Just bought some links and will pick up a different chassis, but I need some balls for them. Anybody know where I can get them? Any suggestions for good chassis for replacement also? Thanks!

Ebay has them. I believe usually listed as ball studs. Jim Frye from lynx micro tech should also have some. His SN here is Fungi Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

Search for Losi mini-T ball ends. There the same, and usually easier to find.

Thanks guys! I've looked on ebay for both and there are quite a few different results. As far as ball studs, there are a bunch out there, but I'm not sure which would work for this application. They don't really list the McRC. A search for Mini-T ball ends seem to return more of the rod ends/ball cups. I sent Fungi a message, but he hasn't been on in a while. I also asked him if his chassis on the Shapeways site are still available to order. Oh, and I'm going to need whatever ball ends the stock shocks use too.

All the ball ends are similar for shocks, and links, however the stock shock ball ends are longer. However if you go with a fungi chassis it won't matter. The mini-T balls do come with the rod ends, I forgot to mention that. However with some 2-56 threaded rod, you can easily make your own custom links. As for Fungi's chassis', here's a link to his Shapeways shop. You can purchase everything directly from Shapeways. Jim's stuff is definitely top quality! https://www.shapeways.com/shops/lynxmicrotech Last edited by R.Billy Rob; 08-18-2017 at 11:42 PM. |

The Trekker shock ball ends are longer, but the previous Losi Micro Crawler shock ball ends are the same as the rest of both crawlers Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

| Re: Stock Link Pivot Balls Good point! I've only ever bought the Trekkers, so I've never actually seen the micro crawler in person, therefore I'm not as familiar with that setup.

Forgive my stupidity. Which ones do I need? I'm new to micros, so I need my hand held! Just want to make sure I buy the right ones the first time!
