Tough Ball Connector for Performance Builds

Hobbyists focused on durable, adjustable linkages will appreciate the Tamiya 49090 5mm Aluminum Ball Connector in purple. It is built to give firm connections that support predictable steering inputs and consistent suspension movement.

Durable Alloy for Repeated Use

The Tamiya 49090 uses aluminium for a balance of strength and low mass, helping to reduce slop in control linkages. The 5mm dimension suits common rod ends and helps maintain accurate geometry under load.

Easy to Fit and Service

This ball connector is straightforward to replace or fit during maintenance, and the purple finish helps you spot service items quickly. It is a handy upgrade when replacing worn parts or customising the look of your model.

Basic hand tools like pliers and a small spanner are enough. Keep an eye on thread engagement and use a small amount of thread lock if threads are metal-to-metal.
Yes, replacing worn plastic ends with a metal ball connector like the Tamiya 49090 can reduce unwanted movement and give a more direct steering feel.
It is suitable for general off road use, but inspect joints after heavy impacts. The aluminium body provides strength but check for bends after hard crashes.
