A lot of SRB aftermarket/modified parts showed up since Tamiya created the SRB era. Apart from those hot differentials made by Thorp and MIP. What other parts are out there? Do you think we can come up with a 'complete' lits of aftermarket part?

I can't imagine it will be possible to make a complete list as so many companies were involved and designs changed and were improved in very short intervals. I have two lists (1983+1984) on SRB-hopups which were distributed by the now defunct company that imported Thorp, Kimbrough and CRP to Norway. The only bad thing, they are in Norwegian. [:(] I've been thinking of translating them. Maybe now is the right time?

Basically everything can be changed with i think i part left original. Some other member is bound to know what part. I think it was decided a poor rc10 clone was produced with all the parts but i still i still want them all but can never find any for sale [:(]

This kind of ties back to a post about making an aftermarket sectyions in the car listings. suffice to say there are a zillion hop ups available for the SRB

Now come to think about it, it seems like the only part has no aftermarket replacement are the front steering knuckles. Well, except those 'replacement' made by MIP for 4WD conversion. Right?

I have never seen a replacement middle gear for the transmission. Everything else can be had from aftermarket manufacturers

I have seen replacement middle gear. It was made by CRP, made of brass, only 50% the width of the original gear.

Is it the same width as their Brass main gear? I have one of those. It is on the heavy end, it gives you a good flywheel effect.
