You'll have more luck in your searches with correct spelling of "Marui".

I have some loose dogbones. I'll try to dig one out and get a measurement for you.

I heard that Redcat 02003 will fit. I believe it's a 55mm dog bone.

I think they are 61mm per Redcat but can't remember if that's end-to-end or pin-to-pin. Seems that manufacturers use different standards as far as 'length'. BTW I had bought some of the Redcat ones and they are a nice match to the stock 'bones. Good luck.

If that's pin-to-pin, maybe some Kyosho 'bones might work. I know they come in 60.5 and 62.5 mm lengths.

I'm pretty sure 61mm was total length and the ball size was different too. I did look for a long time to find a match-- they are short & I think the Redcat parts are actually for 1/16th buggies.
I sold my Samurai to a member here (with the Redcat bones), but apparently once you get to a certain age the details of past transactions begin to elude you.

That looks as bad or worse than the one I snagged at a swap meet a couple of years ago. Are you going to restore it or...
