Xenon VSS rod ends & α-coat rod end balls

Coming soon from Xenon Racing are their new VSS 4.3mm and 4.8mm rod ends as well as their α-coat rod end balls. Starting with the ball cups, the items use the same technology as Xenon’s 1/12th scale front end parts which will give ultra-smooth movement without play while also giving exceptional durability. The α-coat rod end balls are machined from lightweight material and they sport the same coating as Xenon’s PR series pinion gears for reduced friction and greater durability. The 4.3mm rod end balls are available in 11.8mm and 12.7mm length while the 4.8mm balls come in 11.8mm length only. All ball ends come in 4-piece packs, or as complete sets including four suitable VSS ball cups. The 4.3mm and 4.8mm ball cups are also available separately as 4-piece packages.
