Does anyone know how many teeth are on the H2202 rear pulley?

Thanks!

I know from reading this thread regularly that many of you have had the same problem that I have with the front upright ball cup, that connects to the front upper arm by the 18mm tie rod, breaking on easy impacts or even simple taps on a wall from a wide turn. I also have read that Mugen or someone had an improved upper arm product at the Worlds in April, but I have yet to see anything offered for sale. This has been the only weak spot that I have found on the MRX5. Otherwise I have been very happy with the new design. So my question is, does anyone know of anywhere that you can order the "Ball Cup" as a part bag without ordering the whole arm package? I did find part #H0136 (MRX4R) and H0136B (MRX4X) front upper arm sets.

Thanks in advance for your input,
Roger

Someone uses the one from rx8- the rear upper link plastic ball cup, the package comes with a few pieces in a bag, but it needs to be sanded to fit.

Thanks for the input. I have access to XRAY parts and will take a look at them.

Use the shock ball cap and ball, but u have to shim the ball a little, but not too high.

Are the J&S upper arms available to the public, and if so, where can we get 'em?

contact Billy Bowerman up at SpeedWorld Raceway in Roseville,Ca. for J&S arms. That's where I got mine and I straight paaaaalowed the boards off the sweeper with no damage to the arms or aluminum rod ends at all. These arms are VERY strong.
