We ran this back in the day. RCH nylon arms, Kyosho Shock with RCH coil kit, RCH swaybar, steel Tamiya u-joints. Raced on carpet and dirt. When I bought my MIP rear end and ARS cage this all became obsolete. I wish I still had all of those old parts. Try to explain to someone wanting to purchase a n...

Lunsford sets that are for the Short Arm Car. What about an option for the long arm car? https://www.lunsfordracing.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=2cbb68d79e2257cf06c5603b5c5dfb9e&Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=LUNS&Category_Code=CARS-ASRC10 Looks like a long Arm original set Probably no diff t...

I take it no one has experienced this?

I picked up a re release rear bumper for an original car. I wasn't aware that the re release was longer. I am ready to slot the bottom holes to make it work. What have others experienced and what were your solutions for making them work?

Thanks

Guys - Thanks for the help. We were down in Hallett Oklahoma running the Porsche so I was working on these in the motel room and had left the instruction manual at home. I bought new O-rings in case I nicked the one trying to install them in the wrong places. The shocks are now together correctly.

What do you guys suggest? All I was after was something with less slop in the cup that would stay on.

I want to use the stock turnbuckles in the Worlds kit but would like to replace the Ball Cups. This of course would make links that are too long as the turnbuckles are designed to work with the length of the stock smaller ball cups. What do you guys do in an instance like this? 1) Give up on the sto...

Yeah.. I know how they work. I still don't care for them. I would have to say I don't want to have adequate nuts.

Okey Dokey.. I will get with the program then and make this work.. Thanks Guys!

Hi - Are you saying that the larger of the two orings goes in the adjusting collar and the smaller goes up top with the Cap? If so.. are you sure? Thanks

What are you guys doing to assemble the shock caps to the body with the O-rings. The ones that I have seem to be a little large and are just spit out of the side when twisting the cap down. I have seen shocks in the past that instead have Teflon tape to get them to seal so apparently this o-ring dea...

I don't care for the nylon nuts as they are 4/40 being stretched when installed to 5/40.

I instead purchased some steel 5/40 lock nuts that I am going to use.
I will treat them nice and it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks - The common slot car axle thread from the 60's.

Worlds Car Spindles - Anyone know what the thread is on these? Could it be 5/40?

Just a suggestion for your consideration. As the parts are available for your short arm 80's buggy why not just leave it in that configuration. These ran fine during that era. If your want something with more performance find a long arm car with Stealth Transmission off of Craigslist or purchase the...
