Default which turnbuckles with e-speed hangers

Being as the hangers reduce the length of camber link by quite alot, which shorter turnbuckles does everyone use so you dont end up running about 20 degrees of positive camber?
Tried screwing the ball cups right down on the turnbuckle but no joy. Does anyone cut the ae ones down?

Yes, a bit harder than normal steel but do able. Hold in some mole grips or something as it will get quite hot. The ones on my car are cut down.

Just make sure you know the overall length you hope to achieve when they are shortened, since this will vary on which hub carrier type you use (plastic or alloy etc) and indeed the hole you wish to use in them too.

I think Ellis uses 1 3/8" with Losi ball cups. T/buckle length will depend on which ball cup you use, and some are longer than others.
