Yes, I thought it was spelled Deweerdt but I guess you got it right
Have I put on weight?

Race ready, the Procat weighs a bit under 1750g, which is about 160g over the BRCA 4wd minimum (1588g)
How does that sound to you for a 4wd?

Hi, I still need a couple of these (broke some recently, don't ask
)
I don't mind what version or condition. Thanks.

I want to do away with the servo saver on my Procat. I don't feel I'm getting the full speed of the Align 610 servo on the high grip astro.
It's a Kimbrough saver so not too bad but still feels like springy-time-lapse-delay-steering.
Any advice whether to go for alloy or plastic arms?

...but I am after a pair of wishbones (new or mint preferably)
Has to be the version with the ridge all along the side (right)
I can trade other wishbones or parts or good old PayPal.
new carbon fibre ballraced steering

Fibre-Lyte did a great job machining these from my DWG drawings
(not expensive but had to order a couple as they have a minimum order value)
I had to use a 6mm drill to open up the holes slightly (0.1mm) to fit the bearings (3x6x2.5 flanged from RCbearings.co.uk)
I used some 3x4.5 shims for the crush tubes and spacers (see photos)
Finally, I checked for bump steer and changed the spacers accordingly.
btw the steering is much better since I fitted a KP201 Kimbrough mid-size servo saver.

Thanks.
Email them and I'm sure they'll be happy to provide details (you'll need to order other parts to make up the minimum order value)

Great work on those ball raced steering levers.
Your passion for your Procat is truly admirable. Clearly its a car that works well. This I know.
