High precision RP-117 king pin ball for MS1.0 chassis

The Yokomo RP-117 titanium king pin ball is made to upgrade the MS1.0 chassis steering with a precise, lighter component. Manufactured from titanium, it reduces local mass at the steering linkage to sharpen response. The part raises the ball height by 1mm over standard kit items, which lets drivers modify the roll centre to chase cleaner grip and steadier cornering.

Why the design helps front-end control

Increasing roll centre height while cutting weight can improve traction and reduce unwanted body roll. The RP-117 is a solid option when you want to fine-tune steering feel without major geometry changes.

Compatibility details and fitting tips

This king pin ball is compatible with the MSR-010 chassis and installs into the same steering hardware for easy replacement. It suits racers and club drivers who perform routine upgrades or detailed setup adjustments.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

How should I tune after installing the RP-117?

Start by testing with your standard setup, then try slight front toe and roll stiffness changes to capitalise on the altered roll centre. Small incremental adjustments work best.

Can I use the RP-117 for practice sessions?

Yes, it is suitable for practice and race use. Use practice to explore the handling changes before committing to the part for an event.

Does the material affect corrosion or wear?

Titanium resists corrosion and typically shows less wear than softer alloys, making it a durable choice for steering components.

Are there any downsides to a higher ball height?

A higher roll centre can change mid-corner balance and may require complementary setup changes; it is not a universal fix and should be trialled incrementally.

Is the RP-117 compatible with aftermarket steering parts?

Compatibility depends on dimensions. It is intended for MS1.0 and MSR-010 assemblies, so double-check mating part sizes if using different aftermarket components.
