Ah...i see. You're right, the TB01/TG10 hubs do narrow the front track when paired with stock TL01 arms. And yes, the TB01 arms are different in width compared to the TL01 arms and would correct this. -
I have this monoshock along with the arms. Got it some 15 plus years ago on ebay, but i recall seeing it new in package in my LHS back in 1988. It was sold by Parma. You-g, i believe was the original manufacturer, and their products got rehashed into other brands such as Diamond, Mugen, Panda, and Parma. The monoshock dampers design architecture is vey You-g, down to the parts. I collect the You-g hop-ups and their many reiterations, and from what i can deduce, the item predated the dual front dampers from the Frog with the interconnecting silicone tube feeding damper oil between the dampers. Though the hop-up is for the Frog, my guess is that the item was originally intended for the Tamiya Brat as the damper interferes with body removal on the Frog and looks like it would easily get damaged in a roll over. That and the Brat was the 1st ORV Chassis.

Is there an O-ring in the drive cup? If my memory serves me right, the Yeah Racing universals have a round ball head with just enough material to shave off 1mm or 0.5mm to stop the binding without sacrificing durability. -

The momoshock is a You-g item resold in the states by Parma. It came with upper control arms with a 90° cantilever. Very similar to this item by Dirt Burners
