It looks like they are for keeping it centered. Sometimes the cleats that hold sway bars have big enough opening for the bend to slide in and they get wedged in, binding up and no longer floating.

Thank you. I couldn't get them to slide on or push on. I figured if I ran a drill bit through them, they wouldn't grip the rod.

Maybe try a little heat to help them on, but nothing more than a hair dryer or hot water, if they're plastic. Maybe hit the rod with the hair dryer and see if they go on easier?

In looking at numerous car pics here, I noticed that none of them have rear sway bars. Even the box art buggies didn't seem to have any. Is there a reason for this? I looked at my own car and there doesn't seem to be a factory location in the rear...

Built this rear sway bar when I got my original RC10.
Not really sure what I used for a template or if I used anything for a template.

The inner bends started at the outer ends of the bulkhead.

I've never built or de-soldered a roll bar, are the ball studs threaded inside?
Are the front sway bar parts simply re-packaged dubro parts?
If so is this the correct parts pack for the ball stud:

and these for a multi pack of just the ball...

Last post

Thanks for the info. One more question, what is the proper size wire for making the bar?

wing wire for the rear, smaller for the front... :wink:

Does anybody have a link or suggestion for a replacement front way bar for my gold pan? Maybe a newer model or different brand that would work. Mine is long lost.....

Last post

OK, Thanks, Kinda what I thought, I wasn't sure if a newer model could be fit to it.

How long? Its been sitting in WD40 since yesterday, rubbed the rust off first, of course. Can I put it on? Can I? HUH? Can I, can I, can Iiii????

Last post

use naval jelly to remove rust, takes like 10 seconds to clean it with the naval jelly. get it at any home depot. rub it with some car wax afterwards, should protect it.

I think you mean navil jelly.... :lol:

These sway bar links were on my RC10 when I bought it. I've done some searching but can't find out anything about them. Does anyone know who made them? Also, on a technical note, wouldn't sway bar links that are articulated in the centre kind of...
