wheels, ball cups
I was trying to say how the hobby has evolved with that ad for 2.4" buggy rims. The big thing in 1989/1990 was going from 1.6" rims to 1.9" rims on the "stealth " transmission RC10 (#6035) and those were 3 piece rims.
Ok, so now I was inspecting my ST for any loose "stuff" and I just realized how much slop/play is my steering. Also, there is quite a noticeable amount of play in the graphite arms and ball cups...heck...anywhere there is a hinge I can see more play in the parts. For an eight year old Duratrax truck, I'd say that's pretty darn good run at never changing the suspension/steering components.
Has anyone just replaced the ball cups and not the ball studs? Do you think ball studs "wear out" , or just the ball cups wear out, or both? One wears out more than the other?
