Quarter Flash Arm Mounts?

Post by scr8p »

I got 2 sets of rc10 arm mounts in a lot purchase. Unfortunately they were drilled out for bearings like the Quarter Flash arms. Has anyone ever seen the arm mounts done by them? I know I haven't. I also know doing this is not hard.... I've done it myself to a pair of arms years ago. So it doesn't have to be some manufacturers parts. Just some guy in basement.

Never seen the arm mounts bored out. How did they do the back side without breaking them off the tree?

I guess they just twisted them a bit.

There's a pic of some arms in this thread. They bore out the ends and installed 1/8 x 1/4 bearings for the hinge pin to ride on.

New in package arms in this thread. They made them for the 10t also.

I'd heard the bearings had been from a slot car application so they should be easily found I would think.

You can't rule out that they are 'home-made' but I am 99.9% sure they are Quarter Flash items. I have a set of the front and rear arm mounts on my Fibre-Lyte RC10. Definitely cool pieces but the stock arm mounts work just as well imo :wink:

The front arm mounts that I have needed to be massaged ever so slightly as the drilling process caused the edges to flare out and subsequently they were rubbing on the a-arms.

The bearings are tiny but like Al mentioned, they should be easy enough to find.
