I know the feeling. I would love to grab this, but it's way out of my price range:

It looks like they had the matching kit for the rear too, but someone already snatched it up:

$129 for the RPM front end kit is about right on price seeing as it's the whole kit...arms, bulkhead, tower, springs, and spring clips. I think the front kick-up is in the pack too but I'm not sure.

I don't disagree, as I have seen the arms alone go for a decent enough amount. Part of the issue is that if I paid that for it I would have a hard time opening up the package. :)

Yes it is. He is misleading by saying it's RC10. It isn't.

He has other stuff like that too...I think he just doesn't know. The front dog bones are listed as "braces" lol

That I can commiserate with.

Honestly I think it makes it a better deal. The brake cable version is rarer than the belt or chain version. It can be adapted to the RC10 but I don't know if it'll work with the SP-1 trans. May need the older MIP trans with the special motor plate adapter to fit it on a 10.
