Ebay Dhawk all aluminum components
Has anyone bought one of these yet? It blows my mind that they are reproducing these. I'm so tempted to grab them in silver.

Yes, a number of us have used Dhawk parts. Here’s one I recently built.

Re: Ebay Dhawk all aluminum components
I have three sets of the parts. They're pretty nice parts but have a few caveats. The rear arms and mounts need a little finessing to get them working smoothly. The front steering linkage are metric so the screws really don’t work with the chassis. I had issues fitting an outer bearing in the 6 gear transmission case. I had to mill a few thousands off the get the bearing to fit. Having said that, I wouldn’t hesitate buying another set.

I've probably said this before but I will say it again; your sprint car is absolutely spectacular!!

it kills me to think they never get run, but the thought of scratching those metal parts is painful.
Shodog, thank you for the feedback on,the parts. I see you are a machinist, as well?

Re: Ebay Dhawk all aluminum components
I recently ordered the steering bellcranks in silver to upgrade from the original plastic and have been very happy. Main downside is that they ship from China so it took a little under two weeks to arrive. Very happy with the quality and steering now feels much more responsive. They look really nice - puts the rest of the car to shame.
