Was thinking the same, there were so many hop ups that the mind boggles.

Hop-up - Miracle Speedway quick-adjust lowering kit (I think that's what it's called) or an Advanced Racing Products mid-motor conversion.

I would agree that the Advanced Racing mid-motor conversion is really rare and have only ever seen one along with the Hyperdrive on-road conversion.

How about the Tecnacraft Aero wing? Hard to come by but they had to produce quite a few of them. Maybe they broke when used and were thrown away so there are not many around anymore?

All of these hop-ups will probably appear on some new builds coming from the Doug's stash one of these days.

Hmmmmm, who else do I know with a fondness for tecnacraft wings?

Tecnacraft wings are rare to most people and not everyone's cup of tea.

I was never a big fan of the Tecnacraft wing but I remember guys looking for one and it seemed somewhat elusive.

the answer is white shock preload spacers

RPM ones? No way- I've had 6 sets nip in the last year

white preload spacers
white associated shock spacers

are know where they can be had?

If you're just going to dye the clips orange then buy the RPM yellow ones. They're still for sale.

ya that was thought of but
i was looking for white
thx farmer

I have handfulls of the black ones that I can send you- all the white ones I have/had have been redistributed to other members at this point-

Farmer, you can get some white nylon tube from mcmaster-carr that is 5/8" OD x 1/2" ID and cut it to length, and slip it over the shock body. Would give you the right 'look', just not trackside adjustable.

part number:
8628K56

sold in 5 ft lengths for around 8 bucks, should make enough spacers FOREVER.

even better for shipping, this part:
6389K347

is a 5/8 x1/2 bearing 1/2" long, pack of 5 for 4 bucks.

well they seem to be pretty rare
i might have to go the yellow route and dye orange
the search goes on

Yes! I forgot about this, but fortunately I saved the ad on my pc:

Anybody know what these are worth( monster arms for jrx2) just bought a jrx2 with the monster arms, never seen them before.
