Im trying to finish some builds and hoping someone here can tell me where to buy hinge pins and turn buckles for my RC10.Surely they are the same as some modern cars.I also need shock ends with the hex ball,ball studs and ends.So where do you guys get your hardware?Im having no luck on ebay.Any help really appreciated.

Im guessing no one here builds RC10s?I found some FT blue turnbuckles,just hope I ordered the right lengths,also RPM ball cups.No luck with hinge pins or shock ends.

Turnbuckles
Before I go google searching I need to know which version your building so I can look at the manual, get the lengths, and go to tower and get links for you.
The short answer to your question, yes- we build rc10's here. The problem is your being to general. I don't know if those inner rear pins will fit, because you didn't say what arms your using. Same with turnbuckles.

For the bellcrank link you can use the rpm one piece, they work great and should be available on eBay. They are officially discontinued but just recently
Here are the manuals, if you click on the right one and look at the turnbuckles it should show the lengths. This way you can look them up for any and all combinations
