rc10 nose tubs the holes where the perfect size and place for the rear shocks to mount.

That's definitely true; starting a resto/build thread gets people's attention and builds momentum as you get closer to completing the build, then you can share the final "money shots" at the conclusion. A build thread is like foreplay.

Nice, that's cool they fit just right!

It would be interesting to hear more about how you achieved the 5-Link trailing arms with the RC10 nose tubes......particularly when it comes to fitting the ball cups on either end......neat solution!

I'm sure there are others that would be interested also.....

yup the part numbers are the same. from my info that i got.

The set I have is marked Ultima only p/n 3500 in black. My understanding is that they are the same part but possibly a different hinge pin hole as the kyosho are metric

Just more proof that the JRX2 front end was a Kyosho copy

u r right! i has to get a drill bit and drill out the holes for the jrx2 parts to fit. no problem at all.

Ditto on the rear side links - Very cool!!!!

contacted daryl lane over at A&L he found me a rear shock tower just waiting on him to get back to me so i can pay. super happy!!!!

Hey that's a very nice build as well here in the so-called 'dead forum'. So did you simply tap the front nose tubes? Very cool solution! I need these white front arms badly. Any shell in the works yet?

updated! thanks to daryl at A&L hooked me up with a new rear shock tower thanks again!!!!

well i thought this was a pretty cool part, i have never seen one before. it took me a long time to cut this to fint since theri were no cut lines. ALSO notice the mip trans i added too!

You often see similar designs on old monster trucks and newer crawlers. Either use some threaded rod cut a little longer than the tube length. Or glue two shorter bits of treaed rod at either end using 2-component epoxy glue. Or pick the size of the tube and ball ends such that you can make an inner tread at the end of the tube.
Because of the cross-drill need for mounting the shocks on the lower link you'd be easier of with the second or third option.
