RC500 - Help with part dimensions

[limestang]

Hello, hoping to find someone willing to email close up photo's and dimensions of the following RC500 4wd parts:

Engine Pod #5520
Bulkhead Brace #5532
Alum Blocks for inner drive shafts #5542
Inner Wheel Hub #5537
Solid Axle #5560

I have been looking unsuccessfull on and off for over a year, but no luck. I am short some other parts (858, 2532, 2533, 5539, 6227), but the ones listed above appear to be something I could fabricate. I am by no means a master machinist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once (couldn't resist), and have a lathe and Mill that I've used to make some steam engines. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Limestang

Why do you want the #5560 solid rear axle? I know it's listed in the parts manual but I've never seen it used in an actual build and don't think there is a reference to it in the build manual.

I wasn't sure on the solid axle - That's great news if not needed.

Thanks A01butal

Well yah but now you need the diff and the rear dogbones and assorted other parts to complete the rear end drive.

I have a complete RC500 2WD, and have been collecting the 4WD conversion parts. I have been using the following as a guide, but I'm not sure it is complete.

http://www.teamassociated.com/pdf/discontinued_items/cat_rc500.pdf

Pages 4 and 5 cover the 4wd parts.

Can anyone confirm whether or not this is complete?

Thanks Limestang

[a01butal]

Well that's pretty much it but you might try reading the 4wd instruction manual and view the pictures to kind of become famiiar with what parts go where.

Were would a fella find the 4wd manual and pics?
Been searching for it but haven't found it yet.

Thanks a bunch, last time I was at Associated's site all the discontinued links were not working, I assumed they had deleted them from the site.
Thanks again!

Part #2533 is the tie rod steel ball joint and it is the same as the RC10 shock rod end steel ball joint.

I am trying to figure out the manufacturer of the tie rod plastic ends #2532 but haven't had any luck so far, I am sure it was from an outside source as the same part was used on Delta 1/8 cars.
