I'm positive these parts are intended for a kyosho car: no other maufacturer uses the odd M2.6 screwsize for pivot balls. But the poisition of the pivot ball is much higher than on the optima plastic part. Any idea which car it would be for, or if this some kind of fix for bumpsteer???

Edit : added Kose as a possible manufacturer after some doubt arose from another thread on the origin of these champaign coloured parts

could they be for a hot shot? i think i have the same ones, they wernt the thorp ones, but i think maybe a hotshot

Thanks for the try but that's unlikely: the bearing size is 10X5 , thread for the kingpins is M3 and for the steering link pivot balls M2.6

For a hotshot these are 11X5, M4 and if don't mistake M3. also Hotshot steeringknuckles are too large to fit the optima C-carriers

I think (guess only at this stage) this is for the Kyosho QRC semi monster trucks hence the raised steering arm...wild dodge ram, field baja maybe snake bite etc

Trying to investigate it some more but I think they ran standard plastic optima steering arms with a spacer/raiser.

tiny picture but I don't have one:
