Those are correct for a later car.

The Good Year and unmarked tires were on earlier cars.

If you intend on actual running it, I'd probably find some different bellcranks. Pretty much, any other one. While the Hot Trick parts definitely have a vintage vibe to them, they...... kinda suck. Factory Works still makes the original A&L setup and JConcepts makes some nice aluminum ones as we...

I'd also recommend rehydrating all the nylon parts , give them a clean then stick them in a bucket of water for a couple of days , don't boil them , nylon should have a water content to remain supple and when it dries out it becomes brittle , simply soaking in water for a day or two restores the wat...

You can get new ballcups and ball ends from custom works. They will be black. The dubro ones you have are vintage correct and perfectly fine as long as they aren't mangled I agree on a good cleanup, parts soak and steering bellcrank replacement. New wheels and tires of you plan to drive it often, ot...

Schumacher 1704 ball cups are an option that are similar size to the AE original parts. https://www.amainhobbies.com/schumacher-plastic-ball-cups-8-schu1704/p153145 RPM 73372 ball cups are also an option but might require a little shaving to clear clashes at the back side of the front shock tower. h...

Ultrasonic cleaners will work pretty well and are harmless .

Looking at online build manuals, that's a maybe. Some versions show 1/4" axles, some show 3/16" axles. There are also universal joint axle assemblies that are all seem to be 1/4" axle (2nd photo).
.

If you had a metal lathe or know someone with one, the 1/4" axles could be trimmed a little so they accept 3/16" wheels and still use the 1/4" bearings.

Great photo

Not sure how much success you'll have trying to drill the 1/4" axle taper. Getting off center could make for a really wobbly wheel. Your rear wheel options probably are: 1. Get 3/16" rear stub axles and flanged bearings. Axles aren't readily available. 2. Get Custom Works Short CVD kit an...

Thanks , if you want to see the whole thing search up Yo-Clone-Oh , it's as much about me learning CAD and 3d printing as it is about cloning the Yokomo Dogfighter YZ-834b .

They vary in price. I think ~$4-6 each.

They seem to be about the same as some of my thinner originals. Definitely not as thick as an older paper based decal.

Got it back together. Whoever was in this motor before, had the armature endplay way too tight. I adjusted the endplay and centered the armature in the magnetic field. I reassembled it with new Trinity springs and the old brushes. I checked rotation before installing the decal, so that everything wo...
