I think I overpaid a bit for these, but curiosity killed the cat (I'm the cat). Anyone know what these are? Thanks for any help.

Did one of you guys lose this back in late May of 1988? Found in one of my boxes.

Wondering if anyone can help with some measurements for the steering servo mounting brackets? The part is A3 (section 8; page 6) from the DA-8 parts bag. Trying to finish up this model. I thought these were the same as the Big Brute and Corvette, but it seems they are not the same. Thanks in advance.

Here is a 3D model of this part that I posted on Thingiverse-https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4541684. No idea if this part will print correctly. I ordered 3D printer yesterday. Can't wait to test it!

EDIT: Prints ok.

I happened upon some HPI wheels and tires that fit mine, but not sure which model they are from. Give me a few days and i will seeif i can figure it out. I realize this doesn't satisfy your original rim need, but might be an acceptable option.

I've seen this done before and always wanted to try it myself.
"Liquid plastic", is this two-part epoxy?
Anyway, please let us know if it works?

Liquid Plastic that I used is "Task 8", which mixes 1:1 officially. Will update when I get some use on it.

Figured out another (potential) solution for us. Cleaned up the original part by gluing it back together and sanding, stuffed part into warmed (soft) clay, placed a couple dabs of hot glue so I could extract the original part from the clay, mixed and poured liquid plastic into mold, extracted part i...

I'm scoffing at 25 let alone 55 Maybe I should just pour my own. One wall crash cost $25 hobby is still going strong! Then the Chinese ones will arrive in about 2 months.

Quick glance around I can't seem to find this broken steering linkage "piece."

Anyone know the part number and the best place to buy one? Thanks for any help!

Big Bear...by far one of the toughest models I had! Cool project...glad to see one is still around.

Thanks guys! I was thinking vaguely at the end of NiCd.

Label doesn't indicate. To me it could be either way given the time frame.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks. I ordered a B-block from the UK a month ago that has still not arrived, so I am unable to take it for a run. I hope to make a video of it running and check top speed. I also need to come up with a servo saver solution. I really do not want to go with the original parts. Considering an alumin...
