Precision Nickel Pivot Balls for Stable Steering

Model builders seeking consistent steering should consider the XRAY 387562 pivot ball set. Specifically produced for M18 and NT18 chassis, the 5.8mm Type B pivot balls come with a nickel finish that improves surface durability. The plating helps reduce wear so handling stays stable over time.

Improved Surface Hardness

The nickel finish offers a smoother, more wear-resistant contact area which supports repeatable pivot movement and predictable steering feel during competitive running or club practice.

Compatibility Notes and Parts Count

These pivot balls are intended for the M18 and NT18 platforms and are simple to replace as part of regular upkeep. Each pack includes eight pieces, sufficient for scheduled replacements.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY 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 do I tell when pivot balls need replacing?

Look for play at the pivot point, rough movement, or visible plating wear. Any increase in slop or uneven steering response are signs to inspect and replace pivot balls.

Can I polish the nickel coating?

Avoid aggressive polishing that removes plating. Light cleaning with a soft cloth and mild cleaner is safer to preserve the nickel layer and its protective properties.

Are these compatible with aluminium ball cups?

These pivot balls are sized for M18 and NT18 housings. If your aluminium ball cups match those dimensions, they should work together, but verify clearances to prevent binding.
