The size of the ball links are rather standard.

Many ball links are like those on your NX as they are made to be popped on the balls in only ONE direction. If trying from the other direction they will be overstressed and will usually crack.

That said, the other important aspect is the diameter of the control rods they attach to. These can be anywhere from 2.0mm, 2.2mm/2.3mm and 2.5mm.

Any made for use on 2.2/2.3mm rods would work on your NX, except I believe on the tail rotor pushrod. I believe these use a 2.0mm rod so it would need appropriate links.

The links for the E640 are a much beefier link and work well.

I like the stock links, but I have a pile of Rocket City links hanging around, they are pretty beefy and reliable.
