Mini-Z Buggy Pillow Ball Joints for Tuning Steering - Kyosho MB018  [KY-MB018]

Mini-Z Buggy steering link pillow balls

This pillow ball set is an RC-scale spare built for Mini-Z Buggy chassis. It provides a tight ball-joint connection between steering linkages and suspension arms, maintaining articulation while limiting slack that can dull control on compact off-road circuits.

Compatibility is restricted to Mini-Z Buggy configurations, so confirm chassis compatibility before buying. The component substitutes traditional pivot or clevis attachments where pillow ball joints improve the repeatability of suspension movement and steering commands.

Installation notes: remove the original link hardware and install the pillow balls into the prepared link ends or hubs supplied by the chassis, using the factory screw holes. Ensure smooth articulation across the full range, avoid excessive torque which can bind, and check that no nearby parts interfere during compression.

Tuning role: pillow ball joints shift pivot behavior and can yield a crisper steering response and steadier camber changes under load. Fit them when refining steering feel or when eliminating play at steering knuckles and suspension mounts. Adjust roll center, damper settings, and toe to harmonize the setup.
