Sourcing ball studs
Hi everyone,
Despite high prices, I've managed to source a lot of parts for a few projects... however I'm having a hell fo a time trying to find ballstuds for a few vehicles. Is there any good sources for these out there (Currently building a T4, but also a few older models like an RC10T and a vintage Worlds). Thanks for any info!!

Re: Sourcing ball studs
You are looking for 4.3mm studs.
Custom Works and Schumacher are the easiest to get. Lunsford makes some as well, but $$. Arrma makes a few. And older HPI ones can still be found. CRC makes some red aluminum ones as well.
Some of those use M3 threads instead of 4-40.
As said, Custom Works is probably your best bet. They have 4-40 threads, are available in different lengths, and look similar to the originals.

They don't actually list any dimensions it seems.

Re: Sourcing ball studs
They have short, long, and tall.
I usually buy short and long ones.
