If its not one of the angled ones, 22 cups will work for now.

I hope he's improved his quality control, the Garodisc pads I got from him for my triad was very poorly cut.

Well, I've got mine built. A word of advice for those that have the Brushless Hobbies LT4 speedo and anything but the world's smallest receiver... buy a much smaller speedo. I picked up the SP Reventon R and it's a good fit. Also, make sure you black grease the turnbuckle threads, or you'll pull them right off the studs whilst adjusting them.

The first time it will hit the track will be Motorama. Might as well go balls deep, yeah?

Thanks. Now for the turnbuckles... I ordered a B4 kit. But comparing them to the ones on my B4.2 and the ones I tried to install on the B5 are a bit longer, and the non threaded thick area is longer, meaning there is less thread showing. What is the optimal Lunsford kit to order right now?

Recap: rm, mm, conv, rtr, ft(mm only)

Just my guess.

Centro 5, RM conversion to MM

That's what he told me when I asked when we could expect the mm. I may have gotten the corporate answer from him, but he was pretty open about everything I asked him.

perhaps instead of black grease on the turnbuckles you could go back to chap stick?

Doesn't seem odd to me. Ship the ones that take the longest first so everyone has the car about the same time.

It had been so long since I built a kit.... (2002 Kyosho V-one RRR) That I forgot to grease my turnbuckles, I won't forget this time! Everyone says chapstick, but I have never had issues with black grease.
