Overview
Tekno RC reintroduced steel pivot balls for racers who want more durability at the outer camber link locations. TKR5053 is the flanged 6.8mm outside camber version, supplied as a set of four.
Steel balls are slightly more durable than the lightweight aluminum version, making them less prone to crush and loosen during a severe crash or a long main. They are a direct replacement for the standard lightweight aluminum pivot balls.
Key Features
- 6.8mm pivot ball diameter

Usage Notes
