Gator RC Heavy-Duty Ball Joint Arm Clevis – 10mm Ball, M3 Thread
The Gator RC Heavy-Duty Ball Joint Arm Clevis is designed for strong, smooth, and precise control linkage setups on RC aircraft. This assembly combines a pivoting arm clevis with a ball joint design to allow greater articulation than a standard clevis, helping reduce binding through the full range of control surface movement.
This style of linkage is especially useful for giant scale, aerobatic, IMAC, and gas-powered aircraft where linkage strength, clean geometry, and smooth movement are important.
🚀 Target Applications:
- High-load Rudder and Elevator control surface installations
- Flap linkages and precision Carburetor Throttle control paths on gas engines
- Giant Scale, IMAC, and aggressive 3D Aerobatic airplanes
- Scale aircraft control systems demanding tight clearances and zero linkage play
Key Features
- 10mm Spherical Pivot: Heavy-duty 10mm ball joint design maximizes surface articulation thresholds while cleanly cutting down mechanical slop.
- Reduced Core Binding: Freer multi-axis rotational clearance prevents structural linkage binding at aggressive control surface throws and geometric extremes.
- Compact Footprint Layout: Streamlined, space-saving arm clevis geometry allows for clean, unhindered installations inside tight radio trays or narrow control horn bays.
- Vibration-Proof Stability: Built to endure the intense continuous resonance, aerodynamic pushrod stress, and structural punishment of large gas outrunners and turbine power plants.
- Consistent Servo Tracking: Relieves off-axis binding pressures to significantly lower latent servo load strain and preserve expensive digital gear train health.
⚖ Why Choose a Ball Joint Arm Clevis?
Standard clevises can bind when linkage geometry is not perfectly straight or when control surfaces move through larger deflection angles. A ball joint arm clevis allows the linkage to pivot more freely, helping improve control smoothness, reduce servo load, and maintain more consistent movement across the entire flight envelope.

💡 Modeler’s Tips
When setting up your pushrods, ensure you achieve at least 6 to 8 full thread rotations of engagement between your pushrod and the M3 threaded tail block. If you are grouping this linkage pack with our high-torque power setups—such as the Dualsky GA6000.9S Brushless Outrunner—always back your assembly with a tiny dab of blue medium-strength thread locker on the M2.5 bolt threads to guard completely against severe high-frequency airframe frequencies.
