Kyosho MB018 Pillow Ball Set for Mini-Z Buggy - Replacement Joint Kit  [KY-MB018]

Replacement pillow ball joints for Mini-Z Buggy

This pillow ball set is an RC replacement item made for Mini-Z Buggy platforms. It forms a compact ball-joint connection between steering linkages and suspension arms, preserving articulation while cutting down on the slack that can harm precision in small-wheel off-road running.

Compatibility applies only to Mini-Z Buggy style chassis; confirm the chassis uses pillow ball linkages before purchasing. The assembly replaces pivot or clevis-style connectors where a pillow ball improves the consistency of suspension movement and steering input.

Installation notes: remove the original linkage parts and insert the pillow balls into the prepared hubs or link ends provided by your chassis, using the factory screw points. Verify smooth action through the travel, avoid over-torquing which can bind the joint, and check for any contact with other components during compression.

Tuning role: pillow ball joints alter the pivot behavior and can give sharper steering response with more consistent camber under load. Fit them to reduce play at steering knuckles and suspension mount points, and fine-tune other settings such as damper rates and toe to match the changed geometry.
