RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

These came on a car I just got. they are aluminum and have a set screw to clamp in place. the springs are recessed inside the clamp. Home-made or a production piece?

could be hot trick

Look like they could be home brew since they don't look very refined. If there was enough of a demand for them I could see what I could do in getting some more made up. I would think the set screw would mark the hell out of the shock though...

I would say Hot Trick too, they made them in black and red too

How many grub screws does it have to secure it?

If it's one it could be;
Delta
Kyosho
Hot Trick
Yokomo
etc..

If it's two it could be;
JG
CRP
Parma
Dirt Burners/Thorp
etc...

Quite a few companies made these back in the day, it's hard to tell without more detailed pics...

From what I know so far:

Kyosho ones don't fit the RC10 shocks, nor the Yokomo ones. I beleive they are Hot Trick because they only have 1 set screw and the milling shape looks exactly like a those, but now I have been wrong in the past and will be in the future too...

I couldn't tell whether it was only one or whether it was two screws from the pics. I thought they were to fat to be Hot Trick ones personally.

I had not noticed a difference in shock body diameters. I will check though.

BTW these would be made on a lathe not a mill.

these have 2 holes opposite each other, both are threaded. 2 have squared off edges top and bottom, 2 have a chamfer on the top outer edge.

These are the CRP/RCH shock clamps



The two set screws are 90 degrees from the each other.

The way these allow the spring up inside reminds me of the early CRP coilovers for the SRB's Obviously these are much larger but similar in design.

All those shocks have the same body diameter, I checked last night.

I will take some pics of the alloy clamps I have and post up when I get a chance.

Those were the CRP coil overs, RCH only had 1 set screw.
