About this part

Samix Stainless Steel 5.8mm Flanged Pivot Balls are a great upgrade to replace the stock plastic pivot balls included with your Axial model. Machined from stainless steel, these pivot balls offer increased durability and improved service life, combined with a precision fit. They are a direct replacement for the Axial AXI80018 balls used in axial M3 and M4 rod ends, and fit the Traxxas TRA5347 rod ends as well, making them compatible with a variety of aftermarket link kits. Package includes ten 5.8x3x7.5mm pivot balls.

Great product. Replaced all the ball ends on my scx10 II curries to remove the slop of standard traxxas ball ends.

Cory ChungVerified owneron Samix Stainless Steel 5.8mm Flanged Pivot Ball (10)

Great for axial rigs changing over to REVO rod ends. Also doesn't rust like the axial ones. I measured the diameter and compared to REVO balls, only .001mm difference in diameter. Awesome product. All 3 of my rigs are using these without problems.

What reviewers say

All three reviewers gave five-star ratings and were verified owners. They used the 5.8mm stainless flanged pivot balls on Axial Yeti, Axial SMT10, and Axial SCX10 II rigs, including as replacements for Traxxas and Axial ball ends. Reviewers reported the balls fit and performed without problems, with one noting reduced slop compared with standard Traxxas ball ends. One reviewer said the stainless balls resist rust unlike the Axial originals, and measured a diameter about 0.001mm different from REVO balls. No complaints or disagreements were reported, though the sample is small.
