The ARRMA Pivot Ball 6x14x35mm (2) Z-AR330197 is an essential suspension spare part for RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and durability from their models. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK hobbyist, a weekend basher, or someone who takes their RC vehicles seriously, having quality replacement pivot balls in your toolkit is crucial for maintaining peak performance. These precision-engineered components are specifically designed to work seamlessly with ARRMA's latest high-performance RC models, ensuring your suspension system operates smoothly and responds precisely to every input.
Pivot balls are fundamental suspension components that allow for smooth articulation and movement within your RC car's suspension geometry. Over time and with regular use, these components can wear, and having genuine ARRMA replacements on hand means you can quickly get back to enjoying your RC experience without lengthy downtime. This pack includes two pivot balls, giving you spares to replace worn components or maintain additional vehicles in your collection. For anyone serious about RC car maintenance and keeping their models in top condition, this is a genuinely valuable spare part to have readily available in your RC tool box.
The ARRMA Pivot Ball 6x14x35mm is compatible with several popular ARRMA models including the Infraction 6S BLX and the MOJAVE 6S V2 BLX, making this an important component for owners of these high-performance brushless RC vehicles. With proper maintenance and timely replacement of wear components like pivot balls, you'll extend the life of your RC model and maintain the responsive handling characteristics that make ARRMA vehicles so rewarding to drive.
Key Features
- Super-tough steel construction — These pivot balls are manufactured from high-quality steel that resists wear and deformation, ensuring they maintain their shape and function through extensive use and countless suspension cycles, which directly translates to consistent handling and longevity in your RC car.
- Precision manufactured threads — The threading on these pivot balls has been engineered to exacting tolerances, providing reliable and secure fitting every time you install them, while also ensuring smooth removal when maintenance or replacement is needed without risk of damage to the ball or mounting surface.
- Pack of two units — This pack includes two pivot balls, giving you the flexibility to replace worn components on one vehicle or maintain spares for multiple models, ensuring you're always prepared for maintenance without facing lengthy delays waiting for replacement parts to arrive.
- Genuine ARRMA component — As an official ARRMA spare part, you can be confident that these pivot balls have been designed and tested to work perfectly with ARRMA suspension systems, maintaining the precise geometry and handling characteristics that ARRMA engineers have carefully calibrated.
- M6x14x35mm specification — The exact dimensions ensure perfect compatibility with compatible ARRMA models, providing a proper fit that maintains suspension alignment and prevents the kind of play or looseness that can compromise handling and increase wear on other components.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Pivot Ball 6x14x35mm represents the kind of precision engineering that underpins all genuine OEM suspension components for high-performance RC vehicles. With a diameter of 6mm, a height of 14mm, and an overall length of 35mm, these pivot balls are dimensionally perfect for the suspension systems found in ARRMA's latest generation of brushless RC models. The super-tough steel material has been selected specifically for its ability to withstand the constant stress and articulation demands of modern RC suspension geometry, where components must flex, rotate, and articulate thousands of times without developing play or wearing excessively. The precision-manufactured threads ensure that each installation is consistent and reliable, maintaining proper tension and preventing loosening through normal use. Whether you're running your RC car at full speed across rough terrain, making aggressive cornering maneuvers, or putting your suspension through challenging rock crawling scenarios, these pivot balls provide the durable foundation that quality suspension systems require. The engineering quality of genuine ARRMA components means that when you replace a worn pivot ball with one of these replacements, you're restoring your suspension to its original performance specifications rather than compromising with inferior alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why should I carry spare pivot balls in my RC tool box? — Pivot balls are wear components that experience constant movement and stress in your RC car's suspension system. By carrying spares, you ensure that if a pivot ball becomes worn or damaged during a driving session, you can quickly replace it and get back to enjoying your RC car without having to wait for parts to be delivered, keeping your hobby experience uninterrupted and maintaining your vehicle's performance.
- Are these pivot balls compatible with my ARRMA RC car? — These ARRMA Pivot Ball 6x14x35mm components are confirmed compatible with the Infraction 6S BLX (both Silver and Blue variants) and the MOJAVE 6S V2 BLX (both Red/Black and Green/Black variants). If you own one of these high-performance brushless RC models, these are the correct replacement pivot balls for your suspension system.
- How often should I replace my pivot balls? — The lifespan of pivot balls depends on how frequently and intensively you use your RC car. Regular inspection is recommended, and replacement should occur when you notice any wear, play in the suspension, or if the threads become damaged. Many serious RC enthusiasts replace pivot balls as part of regular maintenance even before wear becomes obvious, ensuring their suspension always operates at peak performance.
- What is the difference between genuine ARRMA pivot balls and aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine ARRMA components are engineered specifically for ARRMA suspension geometry and have been tested to ARRMA's exacting standards. The precision manufacturing of the threads and the quality of the steel ensure consistent fit and long service life. Using genuine parts maintains the exact specifications that ARRMA engineers calibrated your suspension around, whereas inferior alternatives may have dimensional variations that cause play, inconsistent handling, and premature wear.
- Do I need any special tools to install these pivot balls? — Installation typically requires basic RC hobby tools. The pivot balls simply screw into the threaded mounting points on your ARRMA suspension components, so you'll need an appropriate sized hex driver or wrench to remove the old component and install the new one, along with your standard RC tool kit.
