All of the parts are Yellow I never thought they looked green I love those yellow motor plates, I have 4 of them.

Going to find a new chassis and rear shock tower.... Having a hard time removing the super glue. Would it be wrong to use associated turnbuckles? One of the rear turnbuckles doesn't match the rest and I would like them to be all the same, the likely hood of finding a matching one I guess would be close to nil.

Nice car. I had those Trinity wheels on my JRx2 back in 1990. They were a little smaller in diameter than stock it seemed like.

Look for Academy turnbuckles, a little hard to see here, but they are almost a match. I will get part #s and better photos later tonight, after I get home. Oh, they are very inexpensive too



another picture:

for the 4 up front, I used Academy part WT-014-B, for the rear & steering WT-014-C. Cost me about $11 total.

I was about to ask the same question.

my LHS had them on the wall. But here they are straight from MRC

4 ea @ 42mm

2 ea @ 26mm & 1 ea @ 34mm

If you are using the longer rear link (later H arm models), I would get 2 packs of the WT014B. For cups I used standard current AE black cups.

Stormer Hobbies also carries the MRC academy parts.
