I have been wanting to do the LUNSFORD TITANIUM TURNBUCKLE MOD to my buggy , but i am unsure of the exact parts that i would need. Any of you guys able to help me out? Or have any other cool mods i could try out. I have heard of people using some xray parts for certian mods.

Xray plastic breaks. Smolnik used them at the last 2 races and broke an Xray arm both times. Now he is using my turnbuckles.
Get the lunsford steering rods and servo arm rod.

Red would look like factory. Machine's Racing Products are after market hop-ups. Plus on my buggy, I have blue screws and washers and graphite towers, so there is hardley any red on my car at all. Just the knuckles and 3 susp holders. Red & Blue look good together also.
Is that you on the left in the pic with Smolnik?

Not always. I shave it off about every 3 months.

I drove for Xray for 1.5 years and broke about 30 arms, amoung other plastics. I was the one who convinced Xray to make Soft arms that don't break.
The CEN Matrix TR Arena weighs a lot more then the XB8. I used to break the front upper turnbuckle all the time too. I then started using Lunsford or Kyo ones until Xray made theirs stronger. But if you put a turnbuckles that is 4 times as long and made of titanium, the Xray plastic arm will break 1st.

I don't ever take picture of my car with no body. But it was in RCCA last month in the Nats report.

Yeah it is kind of an inside joke I guess.
Without his chin patch he looks alot younger than he really is.
