Bah! Ok, I'm going to see if I can obtain of two 1 5/8" from Lunsford.

Or drill for the correct worlds lengths

Now, that's just crazy talk!

I just figure they went to all that trouble back in the day. It must have been a good pickup point. We just forgot to add the hole on the ReRe

Talking about turnbuckles.....Those Jconcepts fin turnbuckles look pretty sharp.
.....Not only does AMain have them in stock, but they have em for the "LOW price" of $49.99....
N they got "low" in capital letters like it's some type of steal.

i want them for use on pre-worlds cars (replicas and such). i can't be drilling holes if the car i'm copying didn't have them.

even the rere worlds kit comes with the shorter rods for the rear. so no wonder lunsford made them like that.

If we ask enough, perhaps they will come through. Here's the reply I received from [email protected] :

Hi Paul,

Glad you like your vintage parts. I'll pass your request for pairs along to the top dog.

Barb

Yeah, I asked the nearly exact same question to them yesterday.

EDIT: I just bought the last two 1 5/8 they had in stock. I hope they make more.

Hey guys has anyone had this problem with the worlds chassis yet, on part of the milling it is wafer thin, don't know what to do with this should I send it back for a new one or continue with the build, the first rock it hits will go straight through it

Just ordered some jconcepts fin turnbuckles......$40 bucks from the "local" hobby shop...Not bad.

And a few rpm gear covers....the j concepts carbon fiber towers , bellcranks n other goodies.....

On Kinwalds re re he has the non threaded shock bodies....which I kinda like cause of the white collars...
Do they still make those shock bodies?? ....and will the rc10 white shock rod ends and shock cups be a direct fit to the v2 shocks???

I would email this picture to AE customer service. I bet they will just mail you out a new chassis!

The rear pair in my rere worlds kit have a different center section than the others and their LH threads are opposite the notch.

I don't have the issue with the thin chassis. I would get a hold of AE, I think that have had some major quality issues with this release!
