All are yz870c/ ae yz10 models I think. Bunch of parts! A bunch of rpm and Andys plastics, machined aluminum bulkheads, all the diffs seem great! Belts seem ok. Mostly good parts. First build is the bling car, fancy parts, all nice and newish looking.

I believe they are designed for ball bearings so depending on the bearing it might just be a standard screw not a shoulder bolt.

So normal wheel bearings with the lip! Or is there something in the hub to stop the bearings falling out?

Flanged and installed from the inside typically. Stock kingpins will likely fit with the right bearings

They were in concert with non flanged bearings and some black king pins. One of the other cars has brass king pins. I think flange bearings would be best. Going to see if I can find some that fit.

Not sure. All I know is theyre shiny, and seem to have zero caster. All the parts are used, or at least out of package. Those hubs came on a parts car, much like those 2 skeletons in the picture.

I had read it here on rc10talk somewhere,, and didnt know if it were true,, but I tried it,, and it is!.....Optima mid c hubs and knuckles will work in a pinch. Aside from minor cosmetic differences,, they are a great fit. So,, that opens up more options.

Kyosho hubs also came in a different caster, which opens up a tuning option as well

ZX5 UJs would fit better.

By the time Ive finished with yokomos, lazers, progress's, ta01's and xx4's,, there should be enough left overs for a hybrid of sorts. Trying not to venture much past those.
