[@adamgarber9063]

Thanks for this upload. I recently got a Typhon V5, before that ive never had a Pillow ball car before, only c-hub! Very simple concept now that youve explained it

[@Grychon]

This helped me a lot, such a simple concept once it's explained! Cheers buddy 👍

[@petergoodwin2465]

I've learnt something again, great video. Thanks Vas .

[@ctphilippi]

Thanks! This avoided a second servo failure, after the first one completed stripped its gears.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Beauty tip! Thanks.

[@andrewlow-hang3106]

Another Nice video Vas. These Top Tips Video's are Great. 👍💪

[@malsmith2012]

Nice video Vas! 👍📹Thanks mate

[@oprahsmuff163]

I noticed my front wheels had a wobble I was going to replace some parts until I came across your video.... thank you so much for this info my kronos xp is back!!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

You're most welcome, glad the video helped you out. 🙂👍

[@1975lgpascal]

Very important 👍🏼thank you

[@norcalrc]

Great info bro , very informative. Thx for sharing

[@ronclarke8546]

Thanks Vas - I was abusing my servo then complaining about the servo. I should have learned this a couple of servos ago :-)

[@stevensilvas1986]

Great video 👍.

[@skeletorrc2583]

Great tip 👍🏻 I check ✔ all things when I run up to 10 packs. I tare down and clean and change or check diffs bearing pivot balls in cracks or breakages I may have overlooked. Maintenance is priority when it comes to this expensive Hobby.

[@GAPreviewsAtoZ]

Thanks bro awesome video need more videos like this 💯👍🏾Rcfam4life

[@pyrace]

Extremely helpful, I checked my truck and all the Pillow Ball Joints were loose. I learnt a he'll of a lot in this movie, Thank you so much ☺

[@AussieRCPlayground]

You're very welcome, glad I was able to help. 🙂

[@Sassonic]

Thanks! I've been away from the hobby a while, just fixed my Mugen's steering, the pillow balls were overtightened!

[@MrDVader]

Great tip. I didn't realise the pillow balls also adjusted camber, makes sense to me now why there is a clip with a nib on the top pillow balls - To gauge where the camber is set.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Bingo. 😉 Glad I could help. 😊👍

[@reallythough4591]

Didn't know about the smaller hex in top pillow ball, and locked up steering servo. Thanks for this, was trying to get my fireteam front tires to lay flat with banditos monster truck speed tires on.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching. 🙂

[@PatonMacD]

Thanks for this very helpful video!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you, glad it helped. 🙂👍

[@HAPPYJACKRC]

Good tuning

[@Ikonzrc]

Great info. I just had that pro.👍💯

[@wolfysoto]

Ty bro it was my third day using my new k6s and after I finished the session today noticed the tire dangling 😂 I really thought I had broke some lol I'm new to this rc world so I thought the worst 😅 got to my first wrench woo-hoo 😂

[@rcabbotts]

Nice tutorial man thought me some good tips Thanks vas as always 👍

[@stevectl1]

Thank you, definitely did this wrong. No idea i needed to back it off

[@sf2372]

thanks for this

[@AussieRCPlayground]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching. 👍

[@07slowbalt]

Not sure why i stopped getting your vids but i missed them. My arrma typhon has been collecting dust for 2 years and this makes me want to revive it.

[@andyb9994]

Very helpful thanks 👍

My pivot balls keep on popping out on my EXB. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@markmathews5117]

Thanks.

[@rtyrtt6981]

Beautiful lyrics.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you. :)

[@markbutler2741]

Love your videos Vas, thank you for all you do for our hobby. Do you think you could do a video explaining how to replace the diff in a 6S rig? I'm having a hell of a time with mine. Thanks again.

[@9kade]

Thanks for your time and the video i have an issue with my kraton 8s very hard to turn life or right hard and when i look front of the car same the tires both life and right going from the top inside like I believe negative that I think So should make it straight ?

[@Abszurdista-fatalista]

Thank you for sharing. But what to do to prevent the retainers and the pivot balls from backing out? I have to adjust them too often.

[@khanrice7595]

Hey vas, nice vid brother very educational. Mate to be honest I thought it was, the review about the felony. 🤔 Looking forward to seeing what your input will be for that car. I have my name down for one at metro. Hopefully I get one come december. Id reckon there might be a few names on the waiting list. Stay safe brother and keep up the great work. 👊

[@ThatSwedishGuy]

Great little how to, I'll use this video as an answer every time u get the question how to adjust :). Atb /Per FB: Team Corally Bashers

[@paddlesworthrcpark8215]

Cheers

[@AverageRCBasher]

I got frustrated so bad I bought the m2c retainers, all good now, can be a headache messing with dogbones falling out of the cups

[@rcuintheshed6981]

Another great vid man always good content thank you for this tip I was wondering about the exsisive toe out on new rc cars out of the box could you maybe do a vid explaining what it should be love the channel mate very Aussie

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you so much for the kind words. No problem at all, I can do that on the next RC HOT TIP video I do. 😊👍

[@gerardscheffer8848]

The retainer nut is the only nut I fear to take out completely. It’s so easy to mess it up when you try to put it in again. Good tips anyway, they need to be checked once in a while.

[@kyhonjan]

I am intrigued with the pivot ball as I've never had one on my RC's. I'm wondering if you guys lubricate the joint at all or it runs dry. One last mention seems the pivot action occurs outwards of the tyre which I would say would cause some tyre scrub. Does this effect handling compared to conventional C hubs? Thanks for the informative vid.

[@donniehallaman7685]

Damn this is the second time I watched this video, I forgot to test with the servo unhooked.. after my install of m2c retainers and delrings, I still had a lot 9f play tightened them till play was gone but servo seemed to be struggling a bit. So of course I backed out the retainers till it moved free , but I didn't do it properly. Back to the drawing board

[@Hirthirthirt]

I wonder why so many people need an explaination how the pivot-system works. Very rarely I see pivots correctly setup. The meaning of the system is having no play and when it occurs to re-adjust it.

[@easycompany979]

Great thanks 🇬🇧. I'd love a clear tutorial on removing the diffs on the corally python. If you know a guy 👍

[@Suppermegamonkey]

Vas! Make a video about suspenson tuning. I find it quite tricky to match the right oil with the right springs. When iv'e tried it myself i never get it right..

[@teslacybertruck750]

I love vas

[@xl_itzdieselz_lx8617]

How do you get the screw out of the hex nut that keeps the pin in, if the screw can’t come out ? Bc for my rc it’s not coming out - and I just need some assistance yk

[@djKoitz]

When u adjust the camber do u put a spacer or u just loosen the screw and that’s it? I heard that is not good to have a space ? Please let me know! Thanks

[@DF-et4gs]

Is there a way to prevent them from loosening off in the first place? Every time I run my Outkast I have to go through exactly what you showed in this video.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

You can use plumber's tape or use the O-ring that is now supplied in the V4 6S cars. This should prevent them from backing out.

[@DifalcoConcrete]

Awesome tip , how do you remove red hex and pin that wheels sit on Cheers

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Inside the axel is a 2.5mm hex grub screw and you'll need to back that out a bit so the cross pin can be removed. Be careful though, a lot of the time these grub screws are really tight and will have thread lock on them, so before you strip the hex - if you feel it's too tight, use a heat gun or a small blow torch to heat it up and it should come loose very easily. Hope that helps and thanks for checking out the video. 😎👍

[@imserious2187]

My pillow ball is stripped on the hex side, how can i get it out of the arm to replace it?

[@JulianStevens122]

What's taking the Arrma 6S EXB review so long?

[@gourobkundu2173]

In my jlb 21101 cheetah, the grub screw holding the whell is not opening. Its head may be stripped. It has pillow ball sus. Please help me how to remove the stuck grub/set screw which holds the small pin.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Best way to remove a stripped grub screw is to drill it out, unless you have screw removal tool. I've drilled out a couple of screws in the past and it's the only way I know to take them out.

[@gourobkundu2173]

@@AussieRCPlaygroundOk thank you soo much. Could you pls recommend a drill or a screw retractor set. Love from India.

[@surfside75]

I also noticed that these pillow balls love some wd40. Seriously each cleaning spray a bit on yr ballz🤣

[@STEVOD313]

Like #99

[@MattyS02]

Here's a question.... why do people call it "Pillow Ball"? I always thought it was "Pivot Ball" which makes more sense to me, and checking the Arrma and Xray websites they also call it Pivot Ball, so where did Pillow Ball come from?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Maybe it's just a misinterpretation that stuck? 🤷‍♂️ I honestly don't know, but there are some strange names for the same things all of their world, it's totally unbelievable that they're called "pillow balls".

[@brettwoodhouse8909]

never had that issue on my senton but handy to know. must of got a good one 👍 PS I bash the shit out of this car.

[@9kade]

My I believe not set correctly I believe

[@BASSstarlet]

First :P

[@dirtrider88]

pillow/pivot ball suspension, lol. it has nothing to do with suspension
