I just wish they would give a couple kits to the company's that produce nice body's before the kit comes out would be nice.
IMO the MM parts were not released, so that people with too much money cant convert the RM to MM before the release. bacause given all the MM parts, you can obviously make the RM to MM. I added it up to be about $150 in parts and I can promise you, many people here would convert it.

Yep thats my guess why Associated waits releasing some parts. I know a couple of guys waiting for the 2nd batch of rear motor kits and they were contemplating building the kit from buying individual parts. It would be like $100 more! Some peoples kids....

I understand not releasing parts for sale but you would think the photos and manual would be completed. What manual is in these "kits with the wrong packaging"?

Just seems like there is more going on, hopefully I'm wrong

The ball cups and turnbuckles will work..... IF you use the lunsford ball studs. The front of my car has one arm that is lunsford with lunsford ball cups, and ball studs.

So the turnbuckles won't work with the AE ballcups/ballstuds?

Why not just order the Lunsford B5 turnbuckles directly from them? They were $35 shipped. Ordered mine on Sunday and they will be here tomorrow.

honestly, those seem pretty short to me. Is there a good reason for them to be less than 2inches? Which is what the kit comes with?

The ball cups are quite long themselves and have to be screwed in very far and become quite difficult to adjust that far screwed in. Now, is this the right answer? That's up for debate, but it is one possible reason for it.
