Jc racing has all or nearly all the plastic parts. They have all the metal parts excerpt .4” shock bodies.

Any Intel on another run of parts? They seem to be sold out in the places I know of:
Rubrix and GP3D.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Not sure about those places but team KNK carries the FanRc molded parts and they are good people (and the prices are quite affordable!)

Yeah I don't think he has a full understanding of the models. He also seems to be replicating the rere stuff instead of the OG, so we are getting those terrible shock ends and idlers/cases for the rere. Not ideal, but I'm hopeful

The nylon parts are cool, but it's Impressive the effort to machine the shock bodies/shafts/etc. Very cool stuff.

The 6570 (og) and 6569 (rere) are 26t
Pretty sure those 9360 for B2 and newer are 28t

Has anyone mixed these parts with "OG" parts on a build? How does the color compare between the two? I know pictures don't do colors justice but the FAN parts look more yellowish. Like old new parts as opposed to new new parts.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

They mix fine. There is more variation between ages of AE parts in my boxes.

Might beat AE to market if he keeps going as fast as he is!
