I'm pretty sure JJ just means Joel Johnson

These are the ones (I don't own them but I suspect they are slightly smaller than the Ultima stock steering posts as they seem not to need the added plastic spacers):Coelacanth wrote:Exactly, those are the units I need the specs for.Asso_man! wrote:Trinity also made the steering posts with the gold ano for the Ultima.Coelacanth wrote:Ahh...for a moment there, I thought they were the steering crank posts.

Well, you're mix 'n' matching a lot of aftermarket parts there, I'm not surprised you're encountering some obstacles. I don't think it's fair to compare that to building an RC10. When you load up a car with aftermarket parts, you gotta be prepared for a lot of minor fitment issues--even moreso if your aftermarket parts are from several different manufacturers.Asso_man! wrote:I worked a bit on the car recently and I'm slightly pissed off with teh way things are (not) fitting: the Yokomo adapters do not match with the stock front bearings and I have no clue about what should fit there, I guess flanged bearings but the OD of teh stock bearings is too large. Similar problem on the rear: the Yokie adaptors do not slide freely on the rear Thorp telescoping kit axles. On top, the Trinity underdrive gears also show some fitting issue with the counter gear being not tall enough and requiring an extra shim or spacer on the counter gear axle. Last but not least, I cannot use the nice Robinson Racing diff with the Thorp telescoping shafts as the outdrives cannot be adapted. Really not as smooth as working on an RC10...![]()
