Actually, you can put it on the other side part way on the chassis and blow it back over the motor at an angle as done by none other than Troy McKune.

I have a parts car that I'm trying to build into a vehicle I can bash/race with. It is a Tamiya F104 that is about 75% complete. I am putting a parts list together and have been able to find most of the major components that I want to buy are available through major USA distribution (Tower Hobbies/Great Planes/Hobbico).

Here are the parts I need that I have a few questions on...
- Rear axle spacer
This is the spacer that goes on the left side of the axle. Has anyone ever made their own custom spacer? What materials did you use?

- Front steering knuckles/kingpins.
It looks like they are currently out of stock, even on Tamiyausa.com. Other than aftermarket options which are available, are there any other kits that use similar parts (like the Tamiya 1/12 scale on-road cars?)

- Center Damper/Shock.
Would a shock for a Tamiya M-chassis car work? I have a few extra shocks, but I'm not sure if the shock shaft would be long enough.

Thanks for any help/advice.
