RC_FunLand 136 Posted March 20 Hi, I broke a linkage arm (SP.1297 I believe), losing a metal driveshaft in the process. I found ONE seller (Japan-based) that carries said linkage arm, but it claims to be for a …. TA05-IFS??? Are they the same?? I also cannot, for the life of me, find a replacement “stock” Type-S driveshaft. If anyone could tell me the PN# (manual doesn’t say), that would be GREATLY appreciated.

one_hit 710 Posted March 20 The part number is listed right there, below BB22. It’s 51048 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I broke the arm on my SR last week also. I ordered 51297 from Plaza Japan. The (online) SR manual has 51104 but I read they are interchangeable and comparing with your manual extract above they look the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they are interchangeable, the difference is that 51104 appears to be carbon reinforced (greyish color) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd prefer reinforced plastics. Mine was probably pretty tough actually - it was a very hard impact that did for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 5481 Posted March 21 Can I sneak in and ask a TT02 question??? Can you fit the urethane bumper mount and bumper to a TT 02b like the Neo Scorcher? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything is possible with ingenuity and access to a 3D printer, but it is not a straightforward swap. The parts used to give the front end kick up on the TT-02B use the same mounting points as the the road going version's urethane bumper mount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might actually suite what I’m trying to do. I’m sure I’ve seen something on this site showing a NS with a pinkish urethane bumper fairly recently. Have to look at some threads and try and track it down!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 5481 Posted March 21 Found it. Blue not pink. @Willsls1 can you tell me how you managed this. I have a plan that will end more a Formula 1 car front end but I need the bumper and nose cone to produce it.

The B arms mount on metal hinge pins while the standard road car arms have plastic nubs moulded onto them which engage with cavities in the chassis. It might be possible to use a Type S front end and mount buggy arms to that, as the Type S also uses metal hinge pins. I will have a look at the undersides of my B and Type S this evening, and let you know how feasible it looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 7998 Posted March 21 41 minutes ago, Busdriver said: Thanks Based on how they look side-by-side, or nose to nose in this case, it looks entirely feasible to fit a urethane front bumper and eliminate front kick up on a TT-02B by using parts from the TT-02 Type S.
