Andy's also made "oval" arms for the RC10, which are the same dimensions as the RC10 short front arms. Those little guys are very hard to find.
Does anybody have any pics of these? I have a pair of andy's arms that are loose in the mess of parts and I am not for sure what they fit.

Thanks for the pics but those are not the ones I have. They are either JRX arms or optima arms. I wish I would have thought to compare them before I shipped out the JRX arm that where in the package.

I need to learn to look before typing. I have two used sets of them.

Following on from agreeing to a TeamC/SMD team drive my new 2wd buggy arrived! 8)

P.S; where did you get your XXXCR from Synergy? - I know that up until recently DMS Racing had them still in stock. Strange to think that the XXX platform is getting on for 15 years old, I never really 'gelled' with my original one (prefered the XX), but boy that 'CR' is a highly specced car for the money 8)

Yes you are correct - its basically the rear end from a T4 4wd mated to the front end off one of the TeamC 2wd buggies (TC02 etc). The UK team manager for TeamC (and long-time R/C buddy) won four club night meetings on the trot at my local club with his TM2... the car is said to carry more speed through corners on high-grip surfaces like Astro Turf due to the weight distribution. It was first thought that like the Kyosho DB1 (a conversion kit that fuses an RB5 with the rear end of a Lazer 4wd) the car would not perform so well in loose - low grip conditions but in fact a number of racers have already tried the car outside on tracks which are rather slimey & wet at this time of the year & have also had good results.... time will tell I guess how I will get on with it but it sure is exciting to have something that is 'on-trend'! :mrgreen:

Did'nt show up in the mail but still was thrilled to get this. I wear a hardhat for my job and I like blasting it with all kinds of stickers including old ae and various vintage rc stickers(or decals whichever you want to call them :lol: ). I sometimes get ?'s about what the decals are and I try to explain but most just say hmmm and walk away. I had a guy who actually knew this time and asked me if I'm still are into these things. Hell yea I replied. Turns out that him and his son were avid into rc bitd and had some extra parts that are just sitting around in the basement. After a couple days we agreed on trading an extra paslode finish nailer I had for the chassis and other nice little bits. In the end everybody happy happy happy :D
