BTW though are they not RCPS turnbuckles/tierods?
I don't think so, RCPS tie-rods look more like the modern Lunsford ones. But I may be wrong...
RCPS and early Lunsford look like those, later RCPS look like the AE FT ones, but natural finish instead of blue. Later Lunsford are more rounded at the square part.

You mean that early RCPS and early Lunsford are not distinguishable (is this word English?) :?:


Thanks guys for your comments, it has been tough to find that rig and some new parts for it, I really wonder how many of those RPM has produced back then...

I finally had time to add the last bits to this car: RPM front spindles, RPM rear hubs and last but not least a Hydra-drive conversion for the Stealth and a RPM Hydra gear cover. I also changed the rear tires for brand spanking new Losi X-pattern, gotta love those! I now have to cut the XX body I bought from Mr. lexan not so long ago and that project will be finished for now...
