Upgrade to Metal Parts
Like others have said, Traxxas really should've included these metal parts from the get-go. I got a chuckle when I noticed the tie rods were metal, but the rest was all plastic. These metal balls worked just fine and reduced the slop in my E-Revo's drivetrain. But don't lose any! Traxxas just gives you exactly what you need, no spares. That's why I'm giving 4 stars.

Factory Should Include These
Traxxas should've had these metal parts on from the start. The original plastic hollow balls on my Mini E-Revo were getting pretty worn out and causing too much play in the suspension, leading to unpredictable handling. While upgrading to RPM A-arms, I figured it was a good time to swap to metal hollow balls too. Everything's good so far!
