which ball cups for servo linkages?

[g20zoom@gmail.com]

So I go looking on towerhobbies.com for some extra ball cups. They are
the ones that connect up to the steering servo arm ball, or the the
ball on say a slide carb. Ultimately I want to make other linkages so
I can switch engines quickly.

Can someone point me to the towerhobbies link? I didn't think
something so simple would be difficult to find.
Also, what rod is typically used for these linkages? 2-56? I have HPI
nitro mt...and a Tmaxx.

Thanks!

Du-bro have heaps of choices. Its just a case of finding the correct size
to suit both brands. Looking at the Tmaxx, Emaxx, Stampede and Savage I
have here they are all the same size cups and balls, but the steering ball
and cups are a different size to the ones on the throttle linkage.

Du-Bro 2-56 for the Throttle Links

Or you can look through the "Car Chassis Parts" section on the tower website
and select Manufacturer at the top for brand specific parts.

Alternatively you can go to www.towerhobbies.com and type in "BALL LINKS" in
the search engine.
