JP Ball Link Remover
Description
The JP Ball Link Remover (Part No: 6631070) is a specialized, compact tool designed for the safe and effortless removal of ball links from RC model linkages. Unlike using standard pliers or fingers, which can scratch the ball, stretch the plastic link, or cause painful thumb strain, this tool is engineered to apply precise leverage directly behind the link to "pop" it off the ball without damage.
Key Features:
- Precision Engineering: Designed with a thin, notched head that slides easily between the ball end and the control arm, even in the tightest electronic bays of 1/12 scale cars or 250-class helicopters.
- Durable Stainless Steel: Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel to prevent rust and ensure the thin "prying" edges don't bend or dull over time.
- Pocket-Sized Portability: Its slim, straight-handle design makes it much less bulky than traditional ball link pliers, fitting easily into a field box or transmitter case for trackside adjustments.
- Broad Application: Compatible with most standard 3.5mm to 5mm ball links used in RC helicopters, airplanes, and surface vehicles.
- Non-Marring Action: The geometry of the tool ensures that force is distributed evenly across the plastic link, preventing the common "oval" deformation that leads to sloppy steering or jittery flight controls.

Maintenance Tip:
When using the Ball Link Remover, always ensure you are prying from the side of the link that has the largest opening. If you find your ball links are consistently difficult to remove or feel "notchy" when moving, consider using a Ball Link Sizer to slightly ream the internal plastic. Pro-Tip: For heavy-duty applications or larger 60-90 size helicopters, consider the JP Heli Ball Link Pliers (6631065), which provide extra leverage and a dual-action "squeeze" to both install and remove links.
