I'm using the BJ4 kit ones, they are spot on all round apart from the rear which wont quite allow the shortest setting so need trimming slightly.

I think so.. I have B4 ones on my Bj4 so... sounds right!
the rear turnbuckles just need shortening slightly with a dremel or hacksaw and then will be perfect..
they look much better than the kit ones, which scratch up so easily.

Hi Guys,

I just got off the phone with Kelly Lunsford. He will have a titanium turnbuckle and hingepin kit for the ZX-5 real soon. It would have been out sooner but with Regan leaving the Kyosho team, the kit was side-tracked. But I gave him all the dimensions, so we'll have it real soon!

Front & Rear Camber Links: 3x50mm (4)
Steering Links: 3x40mm (2)

Hingepins:
3x25mm (2)
3x27mm (2)
3x44mm (4)

Best regards,

Tony P.

I bought a Lunsford kit for my ZX-5, they fit great but the international postage to Australia was just as much as the turnbuckles.....ouch.

After buying a set I found a cheaper alternative to lunsford for overseas buyers:

http://www.rcstation.com/eshop/catal...oducts_id=2735

http://www.rcstation.com/eshop/catal...oducts_id=2361

They also have a hot deal on IB 4200 SHV (world champ edition) batteries.
