Current Vintage Parts Manufacturers?

I've been looking around a bunch and found a few names but who are the manufacturers that are still manufacturing parts for some of the old vintage machines we are all working on? I've seen things like the dual shock front suspension for Boomerang, ungraded center shafts for various Tamiya 4wd cars, etc. I'm also interested in some machined aluminum parts for my Bigwig project. Does anyone have a list or a few names of the guys that are still making some of this stuff? I'm sure most of them are small mom-and-pop shops but those are usually where the good stuff comes from.

Any info would be great - websites, emails, ebay sellers, etc.

Thanks!

Jeff

I would say your best bet is Ebay. Alot of oversees sellers doing upgrade parts .

Bigwig is very similar to Hotshot mechanically.

My hotshot mod is here http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=17963 :D

Search rc-lohas.com and you shall see hot-trick clone rear arms, and front steering knuckles, I think the knuckles are clone of dirtburner.

GPM also make TA01 front knuckles, strong, nice and shiny and fit bigwig perfectly.

Shocks can be replaced by Tamiya 501 aeration or those CVA aluminium shocks, 3 racing are ok.

In case you wanna get CVD, I do have a NIP set extra :mrgreen:
