Hirobo uses 4.5 mm ball links, is that correct?

I am not for certain. I always ordered the hirobo type from ricks and did not worry about it. They are good links. I have never had one pop off or break while in flight. :noteworthy
I guess I should have explained more. I am in a CNC class, and I have to come up with a project, so I am trying to draft out some plans for making an upgraded Sceadu flybar control arm. In order to make thecross rods with teh ball in the middle, I need to know the size of the ball.
I measured them and they seem to be very close to 4.5 mm, but a search on Ricks for "Hirobo ball" comes up with 5mm stuff. I know Raptors used a larger ball, but I don't remember the sizes.
After trying to convert thousandths to milimeters all day, my math was getting hazy, maybe a fresh look tomorrow will yeild better results.

Good luck. I used to make mainshafts for my freya at work but now that I am flying MA stuff I quit that. There mains are hardened in a specific spot and have no way of doing that there.
