Are the ball links directional?

[sleddog7]

I definately need to size my links as some are way too tight.
Being used to the Align links that are directional with a stamped letter 'A' on it noting the outside of the link, these links aren't marked.

Does it matter witch way they go on, if so, is there a way to tell? :dontknow

If I remember correctly, the side with little indention around the hole goes to the inside.

[sleddog7]

Thanks Wren, I'll take a look at 'em

[wren1702]

Whoops, went inside to look at mine, the side with the small line on the ball link (A circle around the hole) goes to the outside. Make sure with some of the other guys just in case!

Just checked it out. Yes they do have a circle on one side of the link. I haven't sized them yet, but the factory DID put them on correctly. Cool

..... Still waiting for my $80. apiece servos....

[wren1702]

I cheated on servos, bought 4 DS821's, battery, switch, and charger for $80 brand new.


:D :D :D :D

Wren are you talking about Gohbee links? If so , then no they are not unidirectional.

[wren1702]

Sorry about that sleddog7, I was told that they were unidirectional. :oops:

Thanks, Bill!

There is a mold mark on one side but that is just from the ejectors to get the link out of the mold during manufacture. The Gohbee links can be installed either way.

[sleddog7]

Good to know. By pure chance during factory assembly they have the circular mold marks facing out.
Same way on the rigid 'A' frame fore and aft elevator links.

Anytime! :D
