You may want to consider starting your own build thread on this project...

Just a thought.

I had Vintage AE's car in my hands yesterday, OMG!

Is it going to be nice!

This build is sick. Looks so clean.

What turnbuckles are you using for these cars? B4?

Post by **vintage AE** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 8:18 am

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?

Here are the part numbers, yet I have not received them yet so I don't know if they will have to be trimmed. I did measure twice, yet things happen.

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

Post by **vintage AE** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 12:14 pm

I hope not, I think those quantities are pairs, so it should cover the whole car

Post by **chris72983** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 12:37 pm

Ok. I didn't realize they came in pairs. Thanks for the help

Post by **slotcarrod** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 6:04 pm

They are sold in pairs!
