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

What turnbuckles are you using for these cars? B4?

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

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

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