Technical Notes on 3RACING 5.8MM Hex Ball Studs

For tuners and racers focused on repeatable setup changes, the 3RACING 5.8MM Hex Ball Studs in blue provide stable ball seating and consistent articulation. Their compact 5mm length reduces leverage on ballcups while maintaining firm joint retention under load.

Application and Tuning Considerations

Use these studs when trimming steering sensitivity or when replacing fatigued hardware in competition cars. They suit tight suspension geometries where excess stud length can interfere with link movement or body mounts.

Material and Fitment Guidance

The anodised blue finish offers corrosion resistance and easy visual ID during setup checks. Confirm thread compatibility with your existing rod ends and ballcups and use recommended torque values to avoid stripping threads in alloy or composite components.

What thread spec should I verify before fitting?

Confirm the stud thread and ballcup thread match your chassis standard, typically M3 or M4 in 1/10 applications. Mismatched threads can damage components under load.

How do these affect steering geometry?

Shorter studs reduce offset and can slightly alter bumpsteer and roll center; evaluate changes on a setup rig or with measured test runs to confirm desired handling changes.

Recommended maintenance for race use?

Inspect studs and ballcups between heats, replace any showing wear, and keep mating surfaces clean and lightly lubricated with a dry film to maintain consistent friction characteristics.
