I broke both side links and the football

I'd like to verify, is this the Tamiya parts tree I need to use their football and side links? http://www.tqrcracing.com/shop/produ....asp?p_id=6023

The links that shattered tonight were the Associated ones, so I'd like to give Tamiya a try.
Tamiya links are direct fit, but the football doesn't work. SpeedPassion is getting their new parts in now, so I think the hard plastic should be available soon.

CRC Red is close to the kit side spring.
