Good to know thanks!! The reveD were the only ones I found definitive dimensions clearly presented in a schematic type diagram...I got so excited...anyway

OK so I know I am overthinking this, but I am hung up on a definitive manufacturer of known 4.3mm ballstuds with M3 threads of various lengths with standard and low-pro balls. What I am running into is a lack of published dimensions regarding ball diameters. Schumacher? All Schumacher? I've seen the...

I have bought Schumacher ball studs from different series, all fit my Associated, RPM, and Custom Works cups fine.

I don't know of anyone offering a female threaded version in 4.3mm right now.

Tamiya has a "5mm" female that works nicely with 4.8mm cups. It also uses M3 threads.

Boki and TBG make a few different covers. There are also several 3D printed ones out there.

Well done Thumbs , well deserved win!

Congrats Thumbbers!

Great work, Thumb!

Congrats on the win. Well done Thumbs and company on building a fantastic piece.

Congrats Thumbinator! That’s an awesome car and it got one of my votes.

Basically stock except for ball-bearing upgrade.

Just general test fitting in multiple applications at random to make sure everything is happy. Going directly to an injection mold is a very expensive first attempt for me anyway, if there was a gear circle off a little or a hole out of spec it would be a real expensive fix.

Here is an RC10 buggy that I am very fond of. I purchased this many many years ago from our good friend Don, RIP buddy. A few details, it has Andy's arms up front, RPM's on the back. Anodized chassis and such. LRP Runner speed control and a Futaba S3003 servo. Thanks Don. 20230308_155028.jpg 2023030...

Original Tamiya Midnight Pumkin (not rerelease)...ran hard for many years in early 2000s...set up on 10 cells and a trinity speed gems amber motor (long before days of brushless motors and lipo batteries). Clocked it at 48mph on gps. It was a handful and took a horrible crash. It was restored with a...
