Wow that's a lot IMHO, I could see $25 per set-

I agree with you, hell I could machine thoese for $25 a set, done it before...

No I am not trying to steal anyones thunder here.

Fakiee, i think those pulleys are for the 870c not the 94 YZ10, but im going to try RC top for some, i agree, no point having them made on that note
So, what does one do, send out said parts to this fella and he drafts them up in CAD? I trust i then get my original parts back!
Would be cool to have delrin suspension arm mounts, but do second the sentiments of, no, they are not cheap.

do you know how the pulleys worked out for the later YR4 cars? are they the same as the later yz10? reason I ask is because I have some pulleys from integy for the later yr4 cars that have smaller diff balls and fit a smaller outdrive. very cheap. they definitely don't fit 870c

Yes, you send them to him, then he puts them in CAD, then he sends them back. For my arms, I asked him to ship the delrin and original arms at the same time, but of course he can ship your originals back to you once they're in CAD.

I hope you guys have better luck than I did having Dynotech make parts.

I sent the guy two RC10 rear bulkheads back in 2011. He copied their dimensions and sent me back my originals within a few weeks. But I never heard another word about the reproductions since October 30, 2011.

Have you tried following up with them? Did you pay them for the part they were supposed to make?

They are for the 870C, the point was if he made them for the 870C why not the 33 tooth pulley you all want. Give them a call at RW racing.......worst thing he can say is no!

Dropped Neil an email last week for the 35t. Not got back to me yet. You're right, someone should give him a shout for the 33t

FYI, arms are done and will ship on Tuesday. Pretty pictures coming soon...

It will be interesting to see how the front arms work without the gullwing profile of the originals.

Was thinking the same Alex, i have a few NIP arms now, but id still like a set to take a look, maybe even run soon on carpet.

lee

Did this ever happen?

Lee

Chad told me last week there was a delay in finishing the arms, but they have shipped and they'll arrive on Saturday. Here is the picture he sent me.

What a pleasant surprise...the arms came in today instead of tomorrow. The look hawt. I should have them installed soon. Pics coming...
