The Redcat Racing 70625 is a set of "long" pivot balls used primarily in the suspension and steering linkages of Redcat’s 1/10 scale crawler platforms. These 5.9mm balls are designed with an extended neck, which provides the necessary offset to prevent the rod end from binding against the frame rail or other components during extreme suspension articulation.
Vehicle Compatibility
These balls are a standard hardware component for almost all of Redcat’s modern 1/10 scale crawlers:
-
Ascent Fusion & Everest Ascent
-
Gen8 Scout II & Gen8 V2
-
Everest Gen7 Pro & Gen7 Sport
-
Gen9 (various configurations)
Key Features
-
Extended "Long" Design: The extra length is specifically used for the upper shock mounts and certain link positions where a 3mm spacer-like effect is needed to clear the frame rails.
-
Precision 5.9mm Diameter: Machined to fit perfectly within standard Redcat rod ends, ensuring smooth, "slop-free" movement for better steering and suspension geometry.
-
High-Strength Steel: Built to withstand the high-torque stresses of technical rock crawling without deforming or snapping.
-
Reduced Binding: The long neck allows the rod end to tilt at steeper angles before making contact with the mounting screw or chassis, which is essential for achieving maximum flex.
