Does any know where I can get a surplus of ball joint connectors ? As pictured below:

I have some but not enough to make an entire coaster. They work so well for banked elements and odd connection points.

Also, I am in need of tube track from either rippin rocket or screamin serpent sets. Thanks !

I always got my ball and joint connectors from big lots on eBay. They came as a bit of a bonus but I was looking for some at the time and couldn't resist when I saw them. Same for tubing and track but there are a couple of different sites to use if you want to buy new if you type K'nex into Google.

If only I had more space/pieces. Delete as appropriate

K'NEX User Group - K'NEX shop UK

Try here. They supply so many factory OEM parts, most now discontinued on the regular market. . The SS track the ball joints you need are available. But, shipping a hassle internationally and buying new bulk off sale is pricey anywhere.

I bet you will find something you have never seen there. Their proces for 12v motors make me want to buy bulk so badly. It was not until now that they started sales of the neccesary U.S. mains adapter, and provide the product codes.

They supply so many OEM parts, most now discountinued.


Almost all discontinued and out of stock pieces should return eventually, they are being supplied directly by K'NEX. K'NEX Usergroup serves a vital part in Europe's broken/missing parts service.

They have the big ball joints as well. The little ones are not very strong.

knex.com has them. Much cheaper than anywhere else that I've found.
