Hop-up - Miracle Speedway quick-adjust lowering kit (I think that's what it's called) or an Advanced Racing Products mid-motor conversion.
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.railey72 wrote:LTO_Dave wrote:

Tecnacraft wings are rare to most people and not everyone's cup of tea.Charlie don't surf wrote:Hmmmmm, who else do I know with a fondness for tecnacraft wings?

Re: So what is the rarest part
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.

Anybody know what these are worth( monster arms for jrx2) just bought a jrx2 with the monster arms, never seen them before.LTO_Dave wrote:Yes!
