Sourcing ball studs

[jkranz]

Hi everyone,

Despite high prices, I've managed to source a lot of parts for a few projects... however I'm having a hell fo a time trying to find ballstuds for a few vehicles. Is there any good sources for these out there (Currently building a T4, but also a few older models like an RC10T and a vintage Worlds). Thanks for any info!!

Custom Works will probably be your best bet.

You are looking for 4.3mm studs.

Custom Works and Schumacher are the easiest to get. Lunsford makes some as well, but $$. Arrma makes a few. And older HPI ones can still be found. CRC makes some red aluminum ones as well.

Some of those use M3 threads instead of 4-40.

As said, Custom Works is probably your best bet. They have 4-40 threads, are available in different lengths, and look similar to the originals.

Thanks guys! I assume these would do the trick?

They don't actually list any dimensions it seems.

They have short, long, and tall.

I usually buy short and long ones.
