Cpt. I know where you are coming from. Some studs has short or long necks. I will check the height and report back. Knowing AVID, I am sure they are correct. But yes, TLR and Kyosho like to use different height studs.

how long of a stud are you guys using on the alum hubs? With lets say +3mm washers?

It's great that companies are manufacturing cool new things but $55 for ball studs is absolutely absurd. They are marginally more expensive to produce than the SS variety.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the use of a superior alloy but it's not like they had to design these from scratch. They didn't just reinvent the wheel, they simply used existing files to cut new ones out of titanium.

Depends on which ball stud location you plan to use... you should be fine with an 8mm in all holes except 1 according to AE. In that one hole you have to use a 6mm otherwise it can damage the bearing. I'm not sure what hole it is as far as front to back but I know its the ones furthest towards the inside of the car.

Hey guys, where is the best place to get a B5 kit? Amain and Tower both have the same price, 240$, is there anywhere that's lower?

Tower with super saver coupon codes...

Finally received my kit and started working on it last night. I'm waiting for a few parts I ordered for it, FT Aluminum front pin brace, FT Aluminum rear ball stud mount, Lundsford Titanium turnbuckles.
For now I will be running the HW Justock I picked up along with a Trinity D4 17.5 Maxzilla.
Hoping to get the car all done, get some practice in and hit my first race with the new car on Sat the 13th.

Im not sure that would work if he is using 3mm of spacers. He would only have 1mm of threads and it would snap on the first hard tumble. I understand what your saying but 6mm is a safer bet with 3mm of spacers.

I just tried the hub insert upside down with the alunimum rear u brace +2 with another 2mm of spacers and its pretty dialed!

What associated standerd piston is the closest to a 3 hole 1.4??

Anyone else have clearance issues with the servo link on your servo case?
I've tried a shorty airtronics and a full size spektrum servo -- they both rub the servo link on the case.
