Hope this isn't a repost but there's new turnbuckle set for the RC10:

I hope they make a set that fits the wide arm RC10... RCPS style!

The bellcrank turnbuckle in this Lunsford kit will be too short to use with the Associated bellcrank hop-up (#6252), correct?
This kit has a 1" while the bellcrank uses a 1-5/8".

The one included with the optional bellcrank is from the servo to the bellcrank, not for between the ears

Wow, they're making these again

, kinda odd feeling...another new part mixed that can't be ID'ed as a vintage part or not

I think its awesome, and kinda bad at the same time

but it's the SAME guy making them again. Again, it's like production never stopped. it's GREAT! Unless of course you have been hoarding the old ones and spent way too much on them.

that's bloody awesome!
Then again some of the value of my current collection just took a serious hit
All in all it's a testimony to the impact of the RC10 Classic... I mean, JC, Lunsford... Who's next? Houge? Thorp? Darryl? Er, wait, Darryl never really stopped

awesome stuff, and about time. they're close to the originals. should be easy to distinguish the new from the old. i wonder if he'll also be making some of those old lunsford decals. loved those.

Lunsford was the original, RCPS bought theirs from Kelly Lunsford and repackaged them
