The first one is close enough to 65mm to be "good 'nuff". The 2nd one is 3.125", which is 5mm shorter than what's spec'd stock. LNS11079 is 3.25", which is 82mm.

So, LNS 11074 and LNS 11079 are the Lunsford turnbuckles we should be ordering for this truck, right?

Should we be putting RC8 rod ends and ball ends on from the get-go, or are these suckers gonna be stout enough? ThunderbirdJunkie's experience with AE's ballcups on 1/10 stuff (never had a 1/8 AE car, and the SC10 4w seems to fall in between) would normally suggest otherwise, but he has high hopes for this truck since it's all new.

I posted this a couple pages back:

If anyone else needs to know, the turnbuckles are 3.5mm. I got me some lunsford titanium buckles on the way

PART# 11073 (FRONT CAMBER & STEERING)

PART# 11078 (REAR CAMBER)
http://www.lunsfordracing.com/mm5/me...ory_Code=3-5MM

11073 measures out to: 63.5mm .... Stock is 65mm
11078 measures out to: 79.37mm .... Stock is 80mm

You don't want to go longer with this turnbuckle cause you will se a problem with them bottoming out in the rodends

I have my lunsford turnbuckles already an they fit perfect
