Pro radiant turnbuckle help

[prp]

Hi, I'm searching for pics of the turnbuckle on the front upper arm for the Pro Radiant...
The manufacturer of rear black wheel used on the Mike and Steve DUNN car.
and shaft on the Front and the Rear of the car.

Thanks in advance!

the pro radiant didn't have an upper turnbuckle on the front suspension, unless you are talking about a modified setup. The upper a-arm was similar to the lower a arm(both orange), and connected to the upper ball on the front knuckle. camber was not adjustable.

the driveshafts are tough to find, but pop up from time to time on ebay. I believe they are about 69mm from pin to pin, and close to an associated size for the pin and ball end, possibly closer to kyosho/hpi though. I can check, if you need me to. the front axle is 5mm, stepped down to 4mm for the front one way bearing, and the rear axle is 5mm. just FYI in case you needed to know.

For the turnbuckle, a pic of the Race prep option.
For the shafts , universal joint shaft exist for the Pro in Fr and Rr ?
And the rear black wheel from ??? and shaft use on ?
Maybe an idea....

OK, I can add a little more info now that I see what you are looking at.

the blue page that you are looking at are some racers tips, so things that you are looking at are not factory pieces, but rather what the racers were doing to improve the tunability, suggestions from race prep.

the upper a-arm is a modified stock unit, they cut out the middle and add the 2 turnbuckles so that you can adjust camber. with that mod, you could probably also adjust caster a slight amount.

You can also see a toe-in mod by replacing the spacer on the rear of the unit with a piece of threaded rod to spread the plates apart, giving the rear wheels toe-in.

the wheels on a pro-radiant were chrome-plated, and then colored to make them look gold. the wheels themselves are molded black plastic. On that photo, it looks like they used the factory front wheels without the chrome plating. The thing is, they might not have been chrome plated, but aluminized or something, so it might be easy to remove, I don't know for sure. The back wheels I'm not so sure, they look more like an rc10 style wheel because of the dish, I think the factory rear wheel has less of a dish. The rear wheel is a pin mount, so they might be re-drilled.

I don't know of anyone that made universals for the radiant. someone may have, but factory stock is dogbones.

hmm...I took a closer look at that photo, it looks like the rear wheel is held on with a nut. the factory axle uses a screw, so they changed the rear axle assembly somehow. I'm wondering if they used something like a kyosho axle of some sort there. maybe they changed the whole hub carrier.

The AYK 'BOOST' had the black rims. The fronts on the picture above are Boost while the rears are something from another manufacturer. Here's my Boost with the original rims fitted.

On my ProRadiant I have Optima wheels in the rear. I also have universals which I believe to be Optima as well.
