ya, but he modified them. the plastic pieces themselves. they way it looks to me, i'd need parts from 2 kits (which i already have) to make it. but, i'd really like to find some close-up pics of how he put them together. i know i could make it work, but i want it to be correct.

It looks like the steering system from an 870c or yz-10 with the steering posts ground down and servo saver spring removed.

I think those are stock (plastic) yokomo yz-10 bellcranks. If you look closely, it doesn't appear that he's running a servo saver on the servo. Because of this, he's probably using the stock spring set up on the bellcrank. The only thing custom is the graphite rack and brace.
