hello all. the gold pan i have came with a broken sway bar. it also has andys front a arms that are wider. do i still need to fix a sway bar to the front? looking at the manual for C.E., Team Car and Worlds Car i dont see a sway bar in any of the pictures. so the sway bar is not needed if i run wider a arms?

sway bar is optional for ether set of arms. some people use them some people don't.

I have been searching a while for some information on mounting the front sway bar to an early RC10... without success.

Can anyone tell me part numbers for the following:
1) the small button-head screws that hold the sway bar down
2) the washers associated with these screws
3) the ball stud that threads into the front A-arm, for sway bar attachment


Thanks for any advice on this.

Unfortunately not. I did check the manual before posting my question, if you look at figures 137-139 in the early manual, it references the sway bar installation, but, it only says to use the hardware "in the bag" with the sway bar - I do not see that it gives part numbers (nor size specifications) for the screws, washers, or ball stud.

Anyhow, thanks for the reference.

the ball stud is the same as one that is used on the front end, like for instance, on the steering arm, servo saver, or c-hub.

the button head screw is the same as the ones used to hold the motor plate to the rear guard.

the washer i beleive is the same as used behind the nut at the top shock mount.

I don't think you can use a sway bar with the Andys arms. There is no place to attatch the sway bar to the arm. Right?

there is if you drill 2 holes.
