They are clear aluminium color. I remember that the original rc10 rear hub was to use with the arms too.
Very weird option arms.

This might be one more: Master the Art of RC Racing. Pic is from RCCA February 1990.

I think, this is more like Losi's 5-link system than pure trailing arm system.

Jirka,
I can't believe you found this advertisement. I used to work for a hobby shop named "Roadrunner RC Cars", based in Houston, in the late 80's. The owner had a financial interest, and helped start Race Master. I was given a prototype of that aluminum bearing race used on the diff shaft. You used a cap from a motor brush tube to seal it from dirt, instead of servo tape over the exposed bearing...I'd love to have one of those now.
In addition to the parts shown, Race Master also made Delrin rims in 2-inch size, for use with larger tires (Schumacher Cat tires were very popular at their tracks in those days).
Thanks for posting the memory.

The guy who opened Bullet Racing was a local racer who was all into the Losi JRX2 when it came out. He was a pretty good driver, and opened a small machine shop in Houston where he started those "knock off" parts...I never knew what became of him after that, as I have long since moved away.
