you want to contact Barb via the website, she can set you up. They are literally made to order, and hand rolled threads. He was making a batch for Stewart Haas last time I was there :shock:

Black Out 8)

Do you have any tips on drilling/slotting the tub for the trailing arm mount plates? That step is coming up for me real soon... https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=42537 I've never done that modification!

On the two that I did, I found it was easiest to drill from the inside with a tiny bit, as close to the bottom corner as you can. Then make the slot bigger from the outside. You want it as close to the flat part of the chassis as you can, and only 3/32 or so tall, so small bits are best. Just remember you can’t put the material back, so take small amounts at a time.

I bet someone that is really creative could make a jig that holds the Dremel steady against the chassis to cut a straight line

Looks great! You don’t see mid motor trailing arm cars much! Not since the MRP pro 10 anyway!
