Originally posted by RC Driver Gary Interesting that it's marketed as a Tamiya America part, not just Tamiya.... I wonder what chassis' this upgrade will be legal for... BTW, I have a NIB unassembled Evo 4 I am selling. Includes 2 sets of mounted A's and the clear gearbox covers. PM if interested. |
Yeah, and the SS arms only said for the 04, what's yer point?
|
are you sure this is a production item? these arms appeared on david jun's 415 quite some time ago as a prototype if i remember correctly
|
Yes, they are a Tamiya America production item. The prototype arms were seen on his EvoIV and recently he has been testing them on a 415.
|
Do you know what bearing size for the wheelaxle this new suspension is using?
|
5x9 mm :tire:
|
Thanks rtypec
But again this small bearings. :( |
Yeah, the small bearing thing...beats me. However, I am glad to say that I haven't blown one up since December hehe.

It's a pretty snug fit. If anything, you'll only need a 0.1mm shim. The production arms and hub carriers have no slop. If you find that they bind just a hair, take a pass or two at it with fine grit sandpaper...that's it. Nice tolerances. The prototypes had shims everywhere hehe.

Rod do you remember when David Jun used the adapters for his 1150 bearings to convert them to 850 bearings? He really liked the saller bearings cause it made for a bunch less unsprung weight. But that was the challenge, blowing them up all the time.
