Wow, you got to be kidding me!!!!! Well then, looks like I will be buying the other ones. That ball bearing I bet is the difference from $10 a set and 10$ each

True, but for $10 each, your looking at almost if not $100 for BALL LINKS[X(]!!! That is how much some people spend on there servo arms and the complete hardware package. I swear, prices will never be cheap again will they lol

If I had a 40% bird it would be loaded with those bearing ball links, I wouldn't trust an expensive plane with anything less than what I think is the best products on the market..

The Hanger 9 ball links are not new. I have used them on helicopters in the past, and they work well, although for the price they don't function any better than Nelson.......
