Trying to replace a broken ball cup. Looks like I can use the RPM Heavy duty ball cup (#73372) that fits my 0.168" ball, but I was wondering what turnbuckle this fits. I have both original steel and titanium turnbuckles I bought back in 1990. The steel measure ~2.74mm width of the thread, the titanium ~2.70 width of thread.
Anyone know if the RPM heavy duty ball cup fit these turnbuckles?
I've read elsewhere that these ball cups can be made to fit 3.5mm turnbuckles if threaded with force, or reamed out with a drill bit to size, but I don't want to buy new 3.5mm turnbuckles.
Those ball ends fit my late Edinger's threaded rods perfectly, and I think they are the same pitch. Also, I beleive the kit stock ball ends are the same between the two.
. . . you have Associated Green Slime for brains. And not even new Green Slime, but old gooped out Green Slime.
My original body has seen better days and I'd like to get either a new OEM body or maybe an aftermarket that fits my 1989 RC10 Graphite. Anyone know what the name/part # is for the original body & wing that came with it? I keep reading about the...
I'm seeing 3 different types of turnbuckles for the 10T under the 7253 part number.
On the 7001s that I bought, most of the turnbuckles seem to have the hex-shaped adjuster section in the center of the turnbuckles. The vast majority of the...

Thank you Marlon,
I have two more NIP in a bell crank kit.
I was so impressed with Rods prototype RC10ST build, I want to build my own :!:
I have one of the graphite chassis that has the AE symbol etched in it and have a question about re-conditioning it. It is in great shape other than the very front being a bit frayed on one side from one or more hard crashes. I got it off ebay for...

I just did the same to my chassis. To get the glue off I soaked the spot with acetone and used a sharp chisel layed down flat against the chassis. Worked great!
Hi. Im new to the site. I'm returning my goldtub back to a buggie and am going to restore it to somewhat stock. I don't wanna use the original turnbuckles and no one lists a set for these old RC10s. Does anyone have old part numbers from companies...

well, your not stuck using threaded rod. you could measure for the length you need and get some lunsford tierods. or, you could get the dubro 4-40 turnbuckles and cut them to the desired length. the dubros are threaded close to the hex.
The B3 Factory Team Turnbuckle set works on the graphite, worlds and champion edition buggy, im sure it will work for the original goldpan too.

Thanks, good to know. I've never bent a threaded rod, so I guess the Du bro turnbuckles will do fine.
I figured the only way to get a coffin chassis RC10 Graphite is to have a replica chassis made. Since I have an extra later model RC10 Graphite in nice condition, it seems like a good option for the making a coffin chassis style buggy.

I decided which one gets the skeleton chassis and 48p Thorp 6 gear setup.
