Metal Ball Cups and Turnbuckles

I am looking to upgrade the ball cups and turnbuckles on my RC10 Dual Sport.

However I am not sure which brand to go with or what sizes I need as there seems to be a wide range

I am leaning towards all metal and I want to stick with black for both the ball caps and turnbuckles.

Any suggestions?

Alternative Tires for HPI Vintage Wheels

I am looking for an alternative tire for my HPI Vintage 8 spoke wheels. I have Vintage Racing tires mounted but I need something with a higher profile that will give a beefier muscle car look.

Any suggestions?

Re: How to decrease rear track on a Dual Sport?

The B3 carrier actually is working out fairly well so far. It has decrease the rear track just enough for the wheels to tuck in the body. I am still on the look out for a drive shat that measures approximately 40mm in total length. I tried HPI Racing's drive shaft part number 86193 and found that th...

Re: How to decrease rear track on a Dual Sport?

When I give it positive camber it articulates batter.

I won't be able to tell for sure until I trim the arm so that the outdrive has proper clearance.

I just order a Dremel 231 Routing Table so that I can make neat work of it.

Re: How to decrease rear track on a Dual Sport?

I don't want to give up just yet! Hopefully I can find some shorter doggones that will fit.

Not 100% sure how this works but when I articulate the arms w/o the ball joints connected everything moves just fine. It's only when I connect them that I have an issue. Is there something that I am missing?

Re: How to decrease rear track on a Dual Sport?

I just got the B3/T3 rear hub carries in the mail yesterday! The good news is that my challenge of narrowing the rear track by 5-6mm seems to have been achieved. The bad news is that I have to trim the hub carrier to allow for clearance of the wheel and I have to trim the rear arms to allow for clea...

Re: How to decrease rear track on a Dual Sport?

Thanks fo the link!

I hope the dogbones will still fit w/o binding. I am crossing my fingers.

Aside from trial-and-error, is ther a good way to find dogbones that will fit properly?

Re: How to decrease rear track on a Dual Sport?

Thanks a million! I just ordered 2 pairs on Amazon.

Oddly the Team Associated site did not recognize the part number.
