I've had several sets of these and am not impressed. RPM made a better set up later on that accomodates bearings. I think the best you can do on these is to make sure they are oiled/greased.

Well I got them on the DS I just finished and I Kinda agree... I don't see any benefit over the stock DS/GT Steering set-up.

i picked up a gold tub rc10 locally and also got a graphite chassis with it, i am trying to switch evrything over to the graphite chassis . When i put the steering arms in i noticed the threaded ball ends come real close to the chassis is the...

when your using the stock bellcrank on a graphite chassis, you need to use an 8/32 nut under the bellcrank, to actually tighten the screw to the chassis first. the nut is taller than the washer, and should solve your clearance issue.

So I'm trying to put lunsford turnbuckles on my zx5 but I have ran into a snag. The RPM ball caps don't seem to be the right size(to small). Is this correct or am I just being a tard? can I only use the stock black ball caps that came on the ZX5?

Last post

Kyosho is 3mm & Losi is 4-40...I dont recommend putting 4-40 into a 3mm used hole. But if the parts were new, no issues.

I bought a new set of a arms for the front of the car and can't figure out how to install the shocks. Can anyone help?

Last post

Went to my LHS and actually found a ball link with a thread big enough to fit. Oddly enough, it was an AE part and its even gold coloured :mrgreen:

Now I just need to find the other part.

Hey guys, just dug my old RC10T out from storage after 20ish years. This was my first real RC car that I raced for several years, then both my nephews raced it after me. We just recently decided to give racing another go, and I figured it would be...

Thanks, I will put a servo saver on the servo. I plan on putting a brushless set up in it and maybe race it once in a while on the local dirt track. I am thinking just going with a 17.5 or maybe a 13.5 in it.

OK, so if you've ever owned a Lunchbox you probably know that the steering setup is difficult and doesn't ever work quite right in stock form. When turning, the outside tire doesn't ever get much past straight, while the inside tire is the one doing...

here's a writeup I did on improving your VLB, it's in french but a translator should help and it's pretty obvious anyway... etape 1 (step 1) is the steering beef-up. Kimbrough servo saver on a manly servo is a must have, and grinding the knuckles...

Please help me identify these vintage A&L steering kits. I believe one for the Ultima and one for the Optima Mid? Which one is which? Or, is one for the RC10?

Thanks for the help! IMG_3140.JPG

It looks like you have the posts for 8-32 screws, the losi uses the smaller 4-40 posts typically. Only the rc10 series use the large ones. You could drill the chassis and use the larger screws, or if you need the right posts let me know and I’ll get...

Hi,

I run a T3 and would like to use the RPM70172 RPM Rear Hub Carrier Set.

It doesn't fit however, my CVD seems to bee to short . What am I doing wrong, wrong type of CVD (do I need the T4's CVD) or do I need other rear arms?

thanx!

Last post

thanx, it looks like the RPM hubs won't work for me :(
I hope somebody knows for sure if it will work with T4 CVD's

on the other hand, I could be trying something stupid :?
