Not sure how soon I'll be able to pick up my kit from the local shop so I have doubts I'll get my kit built in time for racing this week, and our club alternates racing each week between the 1/8 track and the 1/10 track... so that's probably 2.5 more weeks I'll need to wait before I get to drive one of these suckers!

the other benefit to buying from tower his the e-cash. You have to wait for it to be going on, hence why people were hoping the kits would come in before the 15th, which, to me still seems kind of curious as usually E-cash was being done later in the month.
But when you get an order paid for (not just back ordered) during e-cash time, you get like $5 in e-cash for every $50 spent, or $6 for every $50 if a member.
So if the kit is $399 and you get $60 off, you get $36 of E-cash as that is what was actually paid. You have to use E-cash during the time they say to, but you can then apply it to anything, even another kit.
So in short, treating e-cash as real money, its like gettting the vehicle for $96 off.

Are you sure those will work? At least with the tekno ball cups? The tekno turnbuckles have much longer threads than the Lunsford. I am thinking you may need to go shorter. Anyone have lunsford on their kit to confirm?

They are tight, I would order 5mm shorter on all. threads on the tekno go further to center. I wont know for sure until after I have wheels on if I will have full adjustability.

Hi MattDub
In your set up, you had the rear tranny raised 2 mm. Did you you use the stock camber mount with 1 mm under the stud? Did you also use the stock C and D hinge pin mounts?
The manual said to use the option parts when raising the tranny by 2 mm including the 2 mm tower?
Not the Las Vegas setup
Thanks

You might be referring to the Ricochet setup. I used the stock rear camber mount with two m3x8 (TKR1221) washers under the ball studs and the optional LRC C and D blocks that lower the pills by 2mm. The LRC C and D blocks should be released shortly. In the meantime, you can lower the C and D pills to the lowest position. Mason Eppley did this on astro and it worked well. Did not use the lower tower, it was the full height rear tower.

I just went a little beyond the threads, then backed them off so I had an even amount on both sides. We'll see how it works when I have it done and wheels on it for final adjustments. Worst case, I'll put the tekno ones on and call it a day.

turnbuckles eb410
People may want to wait because
I'm not the only one seeing that the tekno turnbuckle fronts have way longer threads.
I'm pretty sure your need to buy the same type for the front on the 410 . Not just any 3x40mm .
The stock ones are fine for me .
I may put some ti spare mugen 3mm screws in the front end . And kit steel in the back . And try a full servo . And LP servo . But what I seen last Sunday at a track in Melbourne this buggy don't need any trick bits.
