I'm looking for information on shock mounting bushing for gold pan rc10's.
It looks like at one point a common style nylon shoulder(plastic bush/step washer) washer was replaced with a custom molded part
Were these types of bushing actually used? The i/d should be .115" for a #4 screw. Does anyone know the overall length and OD and thickness of the flange.

traxxas are real close to same measurements and maybe easier to find in white if thats the color you're after...

I am interested in the traxxas parts.
When I don't have time to build or drive I like to try and track down the 'original' source of vintage parts and source them from elsewhere. My thought is that many of the original parts would be off the shelf until there was enough demand to make specific parts and molds.

What is the traxxas part name/number ? Would the white one have the same number?

Traxxas put them in shock rebuild kits. I think #1662 and #2669 both would have them. Yes, traxxas like associated kept the same part numbers when they went from white to black. That's the reason why I thought they'd be easier to find yet but at the same time makes them harder to find I guess
Those links you put out there look like an interesting set up if they are the same size. Would be able to bulk order them at least. Might be closer to associated specs also. I used to put the traxxas on my associateds though since it has a longer bottom half so the shocks stood off the tower a couple more mm...and the LHS was traxxas centered over AE.

Peace and professionlism.....Kabunga signing off!!!

Well they would be more 'vintage' as Assocaited made some improvements over the running change on those parts. I'm still learning what substitutions work. I have been using Custom Works substitutions . The Custom Works bushings 1408 are a direct replacement for ASC 6473.
Can anyone explain the impact of the rerelease Egress's lack of the lower BF8/9 lower shock mounts has on the newer version's handling vs the original? It seems to dramatically lower the front of the car as well as set the shock angle more like that...

Great info. I always found my Super Shot to be pretty rugged but never got quite the same feel from my Vanquish back in the day. Out of curiousity, did the Thundershot series ever see track duty? They seem like a slightly more modern/streamlined...
I have a question about a 10T runner project I have going. It's a mix of a bunch of parts I had laying around and I need an opinion on mounting the rear shocks. I'm using T4 rear shocks, a 10T team truck rear tower, and 10T RPM rear arms. The shocks...

Thanks everyone for your help, I got the shocks all sorted out last night and everything is working fine with no binding. I'll post a few pics when I get home from work.
i've seen some pics where the rear wing is mounted on the shock tower instead of using the aluminum tubes. the metal wire from the wing is put into a small metal piece that screwed into one of the shock mounts and held in place by a little set...

soak 'em in EasyOff oven cleaner... Is that still the trick to remove anodizing?
Sorry for the new topic but I think this should have an own topic.
I just looked at the rear end and this is what I came up with.

Wow thanks for the fast response. That must mean I have a second large bushing somewhere since I put bearings on the outdrives.
I have some beat up machine wound modifieds with bushings. They cleaned up nice and I've trued the comms and added new brushes. I was thinking of removing the bushings and installing some bearings. They really seem jammed in there. Does anyone have...
Just wondering what everyone uses?
I've been running the old school Trinity oil forever, but my supply is just about out. Is there something newer better I'm missing?

Or whatever reel bearing oil that you can find locally. Just be sure to get oil, not one of the high speed lubricants (like Hot Sauce).
Nice, thanks for posting. This stuff is 3.2 times cheaper per volume than the 1UP Racing clear bearing oil...
