3Racing CY-25 Hot Bodies Cyclone Titanium Ball Stud Upgrade 4.3mm (10mm) 6pcs  [CY-25]

Titanium ball studs for Cyclone linkages

The 3Racing CY-25 set includes six titanium ball studs with a 4.3mm head diameter and 10mm thread length, made for Hot Bodies Cyclone Sport and Racing versions at 1/10 scale. These studs replace standard steel or alloy hardware to reduce wear and galling where steering and suspension links take repeated loads.

Role and compatibility: these studs act as the pivot point for ballcups on turnbuckles, steering links and suspension arms. Switching to titanium can reduce play at the joint and slow surface wear, helping maintain a crisper steering feel during club and track sessions.

Fitting notes: use the correct hex driver and apply careful torque to avoid thread damage, confirm full thread engagement and inspect ballcup seating after the first runs. Clean mating surfaces and check bearings before installing; use a light threadlocker only if your chassis manual recommends it. These are aftermarket RC components and must be fitted only where the stock dimensions match.

Tuning tip: replace symmetric link points in pairs to preserve steering geometry. If steering becomes too firm after fitting, check for binding at the ballcup or reduced clearance at bearings and adjust turnbuckle length or add shims as needed. Titanium studs are a precision hardware upgrade that supports consistent linkage behaviour rather than a major setup change.
