B6 question- turnbuckle&ball studs

Quote

Post by NomadRacer » Sat Nov 17, 2018 7:42 pm

If you are a "modern man", help me with some info...

What size are the balls on the ball studs (#91049)?

What size turnbuckle, the threads, is used on the ball cups (#91722)?

I'm looking at putting together something and exploring options.

Thanks in advance.

The balls are 5.5mm diameter,
and the turnbuckles threads are 3mm ones.

hope it helps

Thanks for the reply. B6 hardware is not going to work, I'll keep thinking of an alternative plan.

JConcepts, Custom Works, AE - everywhere I look, they are either discontinued or out of stock. I'm looking for the original size (I think it's .17 diameter ball) with #4-40 threads and at a sensible price. I'd have better luck finding M3 but I want...

It's taken some time but those standard length ball studs (p/n 8122) are back in stock at Custom Works. :D

I'm looking to get some ball studs for a few RC10 shelfer projects I have lined up, and I wanted to know what people are using that are close to the AE 6270 and 6273(?).

I found the AE 6275 kit that includes eight steel 4-40 ball studs and nuts. Is...

First post

A few questions (that will probably lead to a couple more questions):

What is the diameter of the ball studs on the classic rc10 cars?

What size is the threads on the turnbuckles?

This seems like it should be easy information to find, but I'm...

On race day if you start popping a ballcup, usually it's the cup that has loosened over time from being popped or just plastic fatigue. I almost always replaced stock cups with RPM ones on the outside ends of my RC10s linkages.

Has anyone found good alternatives to the JRX series ball studs?

4-40 x 3/8” – a6000, manual #55
4-40 x 3/16” – a6001, manual #72

No luck at McMaster or Bolt Depot, and the NOS Losi packages floating out there are a little spendy if needing to...

I took a chance and picked up some of these Schumacher Atom ball studs.

As with most Schumacher ball studs, they have the correct 4.3mm ball size for a RC10. However, they have a very low profile.

They look like a good solution for the...

Tower and center link (since those are the two that normally hit).

I normally have trouble with the bodies of the camber and steering ball cups hitting, under compression.

The center link either clears or it doesn't. It doesn't change under...

Just a heads up, I'm sure we all have older RPM and Lunsford ball cups rattling around somewhere. For 4.3mm ball studs there are the 3racing brand ones, some HPI ones, but with Lunsford shuttering ops....anyway I stumbled across some 4.3mm with M3...

I have bought Schumacher ball studs from different series, all fit my Associated, RPM, and Custom Works cups fine.

I don't know of anyone offering a female threaded version in 4.3mm right now.

Tamiya has a 5mm female that works nicely with 4.8mm...
