I asked the same question pages back unfortunately, i was told it was something that us got to figure out for yourself. I just used old RC10 turnbuckles for mock up and measured them to order some appropriated sized blue Factory Team titanium turnbuckles
A lot of people are currently using Lunsford turnbuckles...they are beefy and look durable, but in my opinion are over priced. They are popular and seem to be getting good reviews, I just went with the FT ones for the color scheme I have.

I was thinking of using FT blue ones myself since I have already used all FT screws. Do you have the Part Numbers for all the turnbuckles you used?

1 asc1402 1.375 (35mm)
2 asc1404 1.775 (45mm) (extra one for the servo)
1 asc1405 1.875 (48mm)
You must use the 7230 (B3/B4) ball cups with these turnbuckles.
I'm working in the field and will not know the details of these for another 2 weeks or so.
These are the numbers I gave vintage AE based on his measurements on his car. They should work on other conversions. Worst case, you may have to cut off a mill or two on each side of the turnbuckle.
Vintage AE... Only one set has come in, the rest are on back order with Great Planes and Horizon. I have your order doubled up. Hope we can still get them! I will let you know!

hey rod, thanks for holding the parts for me until I get to town I hope they will come in before I do, which should be about 12-14 days or so. If not than maybe I can pay for you to ship them to Nova Scotia for me when they come in:?: Is that JConcepts Hi-flow B4 body coming in soon?

I take it, that those quantities are just for one side of the car
I've got an old 6 gear tranny that needs a rebuild, what is needed to put on a new stock 48P clutch set up or V2 48P slipper clutch set up?
I'll put in new bearings, and new classic gears inside, but what about the thrust bearing set up and and top...

Actually, you can run a slipper set up on your 6 gear.
I replaced the diff balls with 1/8 traxxas slipper pegs, with pinned diff rings. Posi drive, great for mud.
Unfortunately, this set up ripped the ends off both of my Rayborn slider shafts when...
Hey guys: Before I start, I'm not done yet. I thought I'd post a few pics anyways. This is my version of the RC10 with newer parts we're all building. I call it an RC10 Evo. :lol: I've used the Dynotech suspension arms to fit B4 wheels/tires and a...

Yeah, wow! I think those are 1.02 shocks up front and 1.18 out back *I think*.
Updated pic with a few more additions:
This RC10 Evo is a master creation Sir You got 11 out of 10 :D I am lurking around watching what You Guys are making' and...
Greetings all! I've been having fun lately with my recently resurrected Factory Team TC3 that I've had since it was new in '92 or so? I think the TC3 is a great car. Very adjustable, light, works great, etc, etc. Enjoyed it so much that I bought a...

Well that's a bummer to find out. Still, I'd take Taiwan made any day over mainland China. Most of the high end gaming computer motherboards are sourced from Taiwan.
I'm thinking about getting a newer AE buggy (like an RC10B74.1 or similar) but I just can't stand the 'cab-forward' look of modern buggies. I've not had any luck on the internet looking at the usual suspects for aftermarket bodies with...

The LFR A2 Tactic body by leadfinger is the best B74 body I've seen. I bought a few last year. They have a more mid cab look. Only slight issue with them is that my ESC only just fits under it as the sides slope downwards.
How long should it take to charge 3300 NiMH batteries? I realize that the type of charger may make a difference, but just give me an average idea please. Last time I charged them I think it took like 30-45 minutes! Seemed like a real long time. I'm...

I ran Venom 3000Mah Nimh in my cars for a while. Some packs are crap, and others worked pretty well. I stayed away from Lipo because of all the horror stories of explosions I was hearing. Now I'm running Lipos in my bomber class car, and it's a...
Here are a couple of my 10's,I have a total of 7 and plenty of parts for more! Will add more pics soon.My friends say i have a museum of rc cars,last count was around 33,all makes and types,mostly offroad(my passion)!
Anyone here racing an older 'vintage' Yoke up against the newer 4wd buggys?
I'm going to start racing 4wd mod again, curious how the Yokes are stacking up. I don't see there being a huge difference, driver is 90% of it. My local track is fairly...
Last post
IMO, the Yokes (YZ-10 and newer) were designed to be raced. These arent' just bashers for the yard, I've never run my Yokes like that. I had other RC's for that. My Yokes have always been my racers. They're are born champions and I believe even a YZ...
