Talked to Lunsford about ordering some punisher turnbuckles and they were able to put a kit together for me. I'd like to order some all new ball studs as well. Just not sure on sizes and quantities for those. Anyone know for sure?

Download the manual from ae mate.. Best bet

Damn didn't even think of that! Thanks!

These are what I was looking at:

What did Lunsford put together for you as a kit? I'm considering doing Lunsford on my 10T runner to get rid of the old rusty (and bent) stock ones.

Lunsford usually sends ball cups out with their turnbuckles. It kind of encourages you to buy their titanium ball studs that fit those cups perfectly. would be thread type would be important though duh.

Lunsford duplicated the specs on the site associated lists on their site for the 10t. I think it was like $33 mailed for the rods. I bought RPM ball cups separately so hopefully those work!

From the email:

Yes, we can help you out with your RC10T. Back in the day we did have a turnbuckle kit for it. Here's what we can do:
1 - 3mm x 1"
1 - 3mm x 1 5/8"
6 - 3mm x 2 5/8"

OK after looking at the manual above this is what I came up with:

6270: 7
-2 front shock tower
-5 bell crank assembly

6273: 8
-4 front steering blocks
-2 rear shock towers
-2 rear hubs

Am I missing anything?

I've been using the 6277 lately for long ball studs. They're so much easier to install in the rear bulkhead. Depending on your bump steer spacers you may not need the long size at the axle block.

Hi,

One # 6270 for the servo arm.

I use 2 x #6270 in the rear shock tower, if you look in the manual, page 24, figure 79, the longer # 6273

ball stud threads stick out, whereas if you use # 6270 ball studs they are flush.

Everything else looks spot on.
