I used B4 FT turnbuckles I had from my long gone B4 exept for the rear ones where I used 1.65 ones: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXATGM
B4 turnbuckles are a little long though. Someone on RC10Talk posted the correct lengths, can't find it for now But B4 ones do fit with a little love, lube and persuasion
Same thing for the servo turnbucke, I had to cut some of both ends but there was enough thread left to fit the rod ends.

Re the body, it is indeed a Mirage Protech reedition from TBG. Look for teambluegroove on eBay.
Thanks for the info Gayo!... i'm on RC10talk too, so will have a look to see if I can find that thread giving the turnbuckle lengths.

I run my RC10 with a 6.5BL & it sure does fly!
