Does anyone make kingpin bushings for this car that have less play than the stock kingpin bushings?

Exotek 4° aluminium C-hub with bushings.

But the new 419x flanged tubes have less play than the old ones, too.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the Exotek caster blocks. I've been looking for aluminum caster blocks for my Tamiya touring cars for a while, actually; it would be nice if I could get some with ball-bearing knuckles so I could achieve zero-play steering, but nobody seems to make those.

They made ball-bearing caster blocks for an older Tamiya car; I got a set to try, but they didn't fit properly. That was disappointing because their ball-bearing caster blocks for the DF-03Ra fit perfectly.

Sorry, my mistake.

Wanted to say that the 419XR Conversion Kit #42317 does contain the Shock Towers for the TRF dampers (tall type, no SSBB)

No not included. Nor the new Evo 7 battery holders. Have the kit here.

That's strange. The long damper towers are only included in the JDM full kit , i've seen.

I'm a little confused, why do people want the long towers?

Nevermind, I went back like 4 pages and got the reasoning.
