Substitutes for Vintage Losi Ball Studs?

Post by HS-YZ250 »

Has anyone found a good substitute for vintage Losi 4-40 ball studs? I was wondering about Custom Works, since they're still producing in Imperial.

I'm looking to freshen up my recent XXX with some parts I already have, rather than do what I did with my JRX Pro SE and convert them all to metric, though that's probably the more sustainable route.

Yes, Custom Works have the correct ball size. I believe that CRC is as well.

If you have some plastics that are stripped, Schumacher ball studs have the same ball size but with slightly larger M3 threads.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
