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 love the sandrail!
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?
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.
Anyone have pics of this kit installed on their buggy. Curious how tight the tolerances are to original parts.

I wish they'd offer a set in natural, gunmetal or black that only included durability upgrade parts. Front & rear arm mounts, rear carriers, front caster blocks & steering blocks. Everything else just adds weight.
Not sure how new these are but recently I noticed Dhawk had aluminum short arms produced. I put some on order and they finally came in.
They look really nice and just what I wanted for the front arms on my sprint car.

Looks like ones in the sale photo have been massaged a bit with some polish. You can see the metal is radiused rather than sharp like on the arms they sent. Nevervthe less I’m impressed with the quality for the price.
This has probably been covered already, but I searched and couldn't find anything. What do you guys think about these aluminum wheels patterned after the Optima MID? They sure look nice to me but I wish he would make another version in the same...
I had purchased a lot of kyosho parts and a buggy, I had these items with a kyosho gold shock attached to on of the black arms. Would anyone know what this is for? Could it be parts to a mono shock for a kyosho buggy?

I have the front arm mounts and steering rack and love them! He must've changed the steering rack up a bit as I have a older one that is M4 thread instead of the RC10 8-32 which he now uses 8-32.. I used Pro-Tek titanium hardware throughout my...
Ok, so I've searched and searched on here, found that there used to be a thread about the Dhawk stuff on the ebay threads but couldn't find it.
Looking for info from people who have used the Dhawk parts, fitment, quality, color matching to the gold...

All they have is the gold, but it's $80 cheaper than ebay!
Its the aluminum parts kit for the Classic that doesn't come with the arms. I used this on my classic and found that I had to modify my RPM arms to fit the rear arm mount which is slightly...
