3Racing CY-25 Titanium Ball Stud Set 4.3mm (10mm) 6pcs for Hot Bodies Cyclone Sport/Racing versions  [CY-25]

Titanium ball studs for Cyclone

The 3Racing CY-25 is a titanium ball stud set supplied as 6pcs, sized at 4.3mm with a 10mm thread length, designed specifically for Hot Bodies Cyclone Sport and Racing versions on 1/10 scale RC cars. These are RC-scale hardware intended to replace original steel or alloy ball studs where users want improved wear resistance and reduced galling in high-load steering and suspension link points.

Fit and role: the studs serve as the fixed pivot point for ball cups on steering links, suspension arms, and other linkage endpoints. Swapping to titanium studs can tighten steering feel by reducing play at the ball joint interface and can extend service intervals by slowing corrosion and surface wear compared with untreated steel parts. They are intended for track and club-level tuning where consistent linkage behavior matters.

Installation notes: install using the correct hex driver and torque carefully to avoid thread damage, confirm thread engagement depth, and verify ballcup seating after initial run-in. For best results, inspect mating ballcups and bearings, clean contact surfaces, and use a light threadlocker only if specified by the chassis manual. These studs are RC-scale components and must be used only on compatible model parts.

Tuning guidance: when replacing multiple link points, work symmetrically (both sides) to keep steering geometry balanced. If steering feels too stiff after installation, check for binding at the ballcup or insufficient bearing clearance and adjust turnbuckle length or mount shims as needed. Track conditions and driving style determine whether titanium studs deliver a noticeable difference; they are a precision hardware upgrade rather than a major setup change.
