Default Suzuki front knuckles for the yokomo sd

Hi Guys,

Team Suzuki made a one off make of aluminium front knuckles for the yokomo sd, atthe moment i have been having much trouble trying to find somewhere i can buy one to two pairs.

Is there anyone heer that knows of any hobby shop anywhere that might still have some left, or maybe there is someone who would like to sell the ones that they are not using anymore.

regards brad p

Default Knuckle Arms

Best bet is go straight to HK:

Contact Hobbymania or NikiHobbies. Contact details can be found on:www.rcunderground.net

Just the knuckle arms might cost you 10 to 15 US dollars postage via EMS but it will still be cheaper that buying here in Aus.

Goodluck

Default Performance gain

None, it's mainly strength as they tend to lose the king pins after a few runs even if loctite is use and the more the blue the better for looks.

OHBRAD:

Both of the R/C store I go to have the Suzuki turn buckles in stock. Saw them the other day in the stores. I believe they cost Y2000. (AUD$25)

You can try their websites...

Super R/C - www.super-rc.co.jp

RC Champ - www.rc-champ.co.jp

You could also order the CGM conversion kit while your at it. Cost the same price as the Rayspeed conversion kit.
