I think your ball popped out because you didn't install the metal rings from the stock carriers. See pic

In this post of yours you show a red circle around a metal ring and drew an arrow pointing to the location of the pivot ball cup. The metal ring that you circled is not for that. THAT IS THE BEARING SPACER. The rings you are talking about, come on Traxxas part #5334r, they cannot be bought separate. I am not sure if they can be removed from the Traxxas part and used on the RPM part.

I used a members pic and added in what I am talking about.

I REPEAT; TRAXXAS #5334r COMES WITH THE METAL RINGS THAT SHOULD STOP THE BALLS FROM POPPING OUT. I AM NOT SURE THEY CAN BE REMOVED AND USED ON THE RPM AXLE CARRIER.

Gee, thanks for repeating yourself ??
And yes they come off and swap over to the RPM carrier, a tricky install but nessasary.

I hate this too and the language barrier.

There looks to be a small fire here and I have some gas so here goes.

You're absolutely right Bondo, the metal rings from the Traxxas carriers can be taken off and slipped on the RPM carriers. My question is... Why? You have to buy the Traxxas carriers to have these metal rings. The Traxxas carriers are perfectly fine, lightweight, tough and cheap to buy so why ruin them to try to fix crappy RPM carriers. But you are right, it can be done. I just don't see why. Great vids and great truck as usual Popoxx.

New vid !!

Back from holidays in Brittany with a stupid short video... : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkMu8ZFPeHk.

My summer workstation was great :




Some pics of the monsters :








And breakage...




I confirm my ProTek lipo packs are really great !
And the ERBE is a good rock-crawler despite the sensored MMM combo !

Don't forget a big bottle of WD-40 when you drive near sand/sea
