PumpkinPie Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I just bought a new FTX Ibex crawler and straight away one of the ball studs sheared! I found the listing on Modelsport for the ball studs: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/ftx-ibex-ball-studs-3-8x12-9mm-12-/rc-car-products/396847 But I need nuts to fit them. I don't even know what size they are. I think the 3.8mm refers to the outer size of the centre shaft rather than the threads. Cheers!

.AJ. Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 It’s hard to tell from the pic, but they will probably be M2 or M2.5, buy some off eBay, they are dirt cheap, like 99p for 10 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NYLOC-NYLON-INSERT-LOCKING-NUTS-A2-STAINLESS-STEEL-M2-5-3-4-5-6-8-10-12-16-18-20/150783000310?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D32af1141962b437bac4b8c994399140d%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D150783000310%26itm%3D150783000310&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Af85094c4-d55f-11e8-9e80-74dbd180f731|parentrq%3A97e85d701660add8e0c4e60ffff7dd3a|iid%3A1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinPie Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Cheers. Maybe someone at work has a Vernier caliper I can borrow to check the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
