new project: Kyosho usa-1

Post by oddster »

Hi, just bought a usa-1 from ebay. I have ordered ball bearings and new body to give it box art style. There are a few pieces missing, and the first i need help to fix is the connection between front and rear steering. Does anyone know the diameter of this shaft? and maybe even the other diamensions? Then i can buy a piece of metal, and bend it so it will fit and give me 4 wheel steering:)

edit: i will provide some pictures tomorrow, too late now:)

Body has been ordered, with all the crome parts. The chassi is in great condition, just had to replace some ball joints. It also need some cleaning, seems like it has been used at the beach:) i have also ordered ball bearings. The front diff seems like missing something, i must figure out what. This will bee a shelf Queen, but needs to be tested at some point:)

just decided to post the pix here so it would be easier for us to see the actual truck without going out to another site. Hope you don't mind....

No parts missing, but some bent axles and broken ball end rods. And the whole truck covered in sand:( beside that, it was in great condition. This has not been used much:)

what is this called and where can I get them? Metal-parts, one-way thing, I believe it is used to fasten the roll bar.
