Frequently Asked Questions
- What are pillow balls and why do I need replacements? — Pillow balls are spherical suspension components that allow articulation of the suspension arms whilst maintaining structural connection to the chassis.

Check your model number against the compatibility list to confirm.
- How often should I replace my pillow balls? — Replacement frequency depends on how intensively you use your RC truck. Casual weekend drivers might replace them annually, whilst competitive racers or aggressive bashers may need to replace them every few months.
