Thanks guys
most of the stuff was there, besides the front end and I knew Jason had one. If he hadn't, I probably would have passed on the parts lot

Re: A.R.T/Lucas Agitator Junior
Looks really nice, Jeff. Does the JR use 8mm aluminum spacers between the plates? Mine are 8mm (or the Standard equivalent). My project is on hold, I'm out of RC fundage at the moment.

Re: A.R.T/Lucas Agitator Junior
The four in the front are, but the rears are shorted because of the sandwiched plate. They went to a lot of trouble redesigning the car just to eliminate a pivot ball!
I wish i would have known that i wasn't missing one before I dropped a lot of money on some joints! Still, good and hard to find parts are not bad to have on hand. I have enough plastic sockets to last a lifetime now

Re: A.R.T/Lucas Agitator Junior
Car looks great.
So build a couple of more Agitators.

I betcha the front pivot ball was replaced with the nipple because the side shocks were removed. Without the shocks the t-bar had to add more side to side spring. The XII and the DTR had the same t-bar set up as the Jr. and then added the Load Actuators for extra side to side dampening. Saved a bunch of weight that way.gomachv wrote:The four in the front are, but the rears are shorted because of the sandwiched plate.

Think of it this way....the pivots are the only parts you can't repro on your pin router or easily find replacements for. Even the front suspension blocks shouldn't be too hard to make on your own.I wish i would have known that i wasn't missing one before I dropped a lot of money on some joints!
