He doesn't seem to know what everything he's got is but he smells money on them.

And I was too late…

I wish I could grab these, but it's a BIT MUCH for me

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:

Ditto, I didn't see that If it was just 1/2 that total I'd do it You forgot this gem though...
RPM No. 7020 Front Suspension Mount Black for RC-10
http://johnshobbiesandcrafts.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=1_3_212&product_id=1398
I have acquired two so far, one on the graphite since I was breaking mounts no more breaking mounts now
and the minty other on the Trinity/CC 10 20 bux I'd say is fair, not 49 sheesh

You could always try an offer he has been quick to reply to me in emails

$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.

according to the kit in front of me now... they are called braces

and it can be adapted with the t-1 trans i have the kit with the instructions from mip in a large lot i picked up last weekend...


(and yes i am about to have a large sale with the stuff to recoop some of my money i spent...)

Success! It came today.

Nice! He said he had a hobby store that closed in 99. These are the remaining stock

Good score dude!
