In looking around RC10Talk I stumbled on this image and I am interested to know what arms are these - Andy's?
Anyone know where to get a set - Front and Rear? Also do the Andy's front need special longer drive shafts?
Also is this a 870c or the '91 works chassis?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Fred

Those arms are Yokomo arms that came standard on the Works '91 and Works '93 (the '93 versions had a hole for the anti-roll bar). The versions in the photo have been modified somewhat with the centre sections being cut-out.
So the follow up question is, will the arms work on the 870c? Would any other parts need to be changed.\

Yes, Fred, they should bolt right on. What I'm not sure about is whether or not the bearing carriers and steering blocks from the 870c will fit these '91 arms. My hunch is yes. You may have to use the '91 shock towers, universals, wheels and wheel mounts to get everything in spec. I believe the '91 arms are a bit longer than the 870c.

Sorry but I have to disagree: at the gearbox side no-issue, but near the wheels: the hinge points on these 91 arms are far more outward and the carriers have less offset than their 870C counterparts
EDIT: for example on the front: the steering knuckle of an 870 C sits on the outside of the arm , while on the 91 it sits inside of the arm
So that would mean to move to these arms - I can bolt onto the 870c but everything (knuckles, arm, universal) would have to be works '91?

correct, and to have the right offset; also correct hubs and wheels. Everything on the 91 is made for the arms to go as wide as possible: deep into the wheels with very little offset.
Trend of that time: if you compare the optima mid , or optima to the lazer you see the same evolution
So Andy's did make replacement arms for the 870c - anyone else and how common are they?
I think I remember then from the time but I imagine they are hard to find now.

The chassis plate above is the -91 works. Can you replace the 870c chassis plate with that one?
Might ebay one or look get one from fibre lyte.

Also if anyone has a '91 let me know - I am interested.

Anyway, I have ended up with a SC10B from a work mate with a broken front arm. He bought it from our shop a few months ago and proceeded to turn it partially into a canoe after 8 batteries on his front yard...

Update on this: I haven't butchered my RPM parts yet, as the importer here reckons they will have the genuine parts in this week.... We will see.
The later AE arms for the 10T, GT and T2 have the spacer for adjusting the wheelbase. The early AE white arms and the RPM arms dont. My question is lined up next to each other is Does the RPM arms line up with the short or long position or are they...
Anyone make DS arms? Need 2 front and rears. I've been droooling over these DS's but unable to find and that are reasonably priced. I have a custom on road car I'm making out of a old gold pan, and have a buggy resto that needs finishing. I have...

there is a complete front end with nose on there for around $35 starting bid. It will go higher but with the seller's antics he has lost alot of this boards vintage buyers bids.
While I am still waiting for a chassis to be made :roll: I was wondering whether to get some more hop ups.
Namely titanium steering arms and front upper arms for my RC10 (mostly Worlds 1994) car.
I have an vintage RC10 T Gold pan that I'd like to put back on the road- but the arms are awfully crispy is there a source for new up graded(?) arms? or is it gonna remain a shelf queen?

you can search RC10GT arms on ebay. They are the same. Right now I only found aluminum ones.
where does one get the wider front a arms in white?

Adding to that, buy dirty ones. Clean with soap and water first. Some choppers clean with fairly aggressive solvents and could be contributing to the breakage. A good boil wouldn't hurt either
what arms are these, i opened them up new.. thought they were the normal 3 hole version, but they arent and i already lost the header card.. started assembling them when i noticed the difference

your exactly right highwayracer.. hinge pins are slightly loose but they are the exact fit... pretty funny. guess i could drill a bulkhead and use them if i wanted... ill just throw these on the bay
Hello to all,
