Built Tough Ball Connectors for RC Projects

The Tamiya 53968 - 5x5mm Hex Head Ball Connector is a compact, high-strength steel part aimed at improving the durability of your RC linkages. Its hex head and 5x5mm footprint make it a straightforward swap for worn or damaged connectors in a wide range of models.

Wide Chassis Compatibility

These connectors work well across both off-road buggies and on-road chassis where a 5x5mm ball connector is required. Hobbyists will find them useful for restoring precise steering and suspension geometry without extensive modification.

Fitting Advice for Reliable Service

Ensure the connector is tightened securely and rechecked after initial runs to prevent loosening. Routine inspection and timely replacement of any bent components will keep handling consistent in race or practice sessions.

Measure the ball diameter and thread size on your current linkages; the Tamiya 53968 fits setups that accept 5x5mm hex head ball connectors and matching stud sizes.
Made from high-strength steel, these connectors handle rough running better than softer materials, but inspect for bends after heavy impacts and replace if needed.
Keep threads clean and apply a small amount of thread locker for high-vibration builds. Check tightness before each session to avoid play in steering or suspension.
