Was thinking the same, there were so many hop ups that the mind boggles.

I would agree that the Advanced Racing mid-motor conversion is really rare and have only ever seen one along with the Hyperdrive on-road conversion.

How about the Tecnacraft Aero wing? Hard to come by but they had to produce quite a few of them. Maybe they broke when used and were thrown away so there are not many around anymore?

All of these hop-ups will probably appear on some new builds coming from the Doug's stash one of these days. :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Tecnacraft wings are rare to most people and not everyone's cup of tea. :wink:

If you're just going to dye the clips orange then buy the RPM yellow ones. They're still for sale.

Farmer, you can get some white nylon tube from mcmaster-carr that is 5/8" OD x 1/2" ID and cut it to length, and slip it over the shock body. Would give you the right 'look', just not trackside adjustable.

part number:
8628K56

sold in 5 ft lengths for around 8 bucks, should make enough spacers FOREVER.

even better for shipping, this part:
6389K347

is a 5/8 x1/2 bearing 1/2" long, pack of 5 for 4 bucks.

Yes! I forgot about this, but fortunately I saved the ad on my pc:
