Default Recommended ball link pliers for mini p.
Can anyone recommend ball link pliers that work with these odd sized Protos linkage balls?

I've been wondering the same. Maybe Bill from MSH Direct will jump in.

I use color coded claw hammers like the ones below. (not recommended)
I did ask a couple of people I know that have tried a few different sets of ball link pliers for the Protos and MiniP.
Hope to hear from them soon.

Happy holidays to all....

I have these : http://www.rc-helicopters-cars.fr/#O...990p/RCT_PR007 and they work fine for mine.
You might want to find them at some american shop though, as it's a french shop.

I have similar pliers and they don't work.

Perhaps your kits have different balls? Mine have a conical shape at the base. I have the heli max pliers and they simply don't work properly. The pliers slip over the ball.

I use the set that has the curved end. Its much nicer as it allows your hand to be further away from the model.
