The upper links for the top were 48mm but that has to do with the type of ball cup you use. I would say get some no shorter than 50mm so you can cut them down.

skip665 169 Posted May 20, 2016 Received mine yesterday too and cant wait to install them! As far as I can see these parts will make the CRP front end redundant as this is easier to install, requires no additional special hardware and places the shocks in a much better position - thank you pintopower!!

I have been so busy I have not checked this out lately! The upper arm length, ball to ball is ---reaches for lunchbox---- 62.75mm but that is at 1deg negative camber. It is in that ball park. If you have any questions, shoot me an email. Again sorry for the delay: amproengineering@gmail.com On July 4, 2016 at 1:46 PM, Vrooom666 said: How strong is those 3d printed plastics ? (ampro double wishbone kit) The nylon used is very, very durable. I have beaten the heck out of my test mule SuperFly and the car has never broken. Now the LB is a bigger car with more unsprung weight and tires sticking out waiting to be whacked off by a stray tree. I am going to be conservative and tell you that they are not as strong as the stock arms but they are much more flexible and robust than most can even believe. I hope this helps.

waterbok 1282 Posted July 7, 2016 Will these work on the LB? I got one with the CPR kit and that one works well. I am not really fond of the U brackets on the lower arms. If yes could you also offer the central pivot part as a single order bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not really fond of the U brackets on the lower arms. If yes could you also offer the central pivot part as a single order bit Well Yes these will work but you will need to confirm that the diameter of the shock base is not overly large and will hit the upright. With out knowing your shock I don't know. These will also have more front offset so the front wheels will stick out a bit but that will also aid in handling and soaking up jumps. The geometry is slightly different but honestly it should still work. I just tried to seperate the Hornet and CW01 front ends as much as possible since they are such different applications. I can make the central pivot a separate part which I should have done in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterbok 1282 Posted July 7, 2016 Standard Tamiya shocks with long ends I guess, if the pivot point is in the same line as the U bracket that should be about ok. (Just got a Hornet too, so if it doesnt work on the LB ) edit: if the pivot point of the shock moves down but in the same outward position the shock should move a bit away from the upright, right?

RushRebel 98 Posted July 8, 2016 These parts look great, I love how you designed the angle of the shock to be more "natural" than the Team CRP, FX10 units. I'm a little confused about the difference between the zero offset and the 8mm, also what type of screw are you using to connect the upright to the arm? Any chance you'll make FORD emblems for the Pumpkin body? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pivot point is about the same as the 8mm offset front end, not the zero offset. It should would but I haven't tried it. The wide version is basically these with the hole filled. Let me know when you mock it up. 14 hours ago, waterbok said: Next Q, how are the light insert coming along? Oh &$%@. I forgot about those. They are all finished. I need to install them.

Any chance you'll make FORD emblems for the Pumpkin body? Thank you for the kind words. The main difference is that the zero offset version barely fits a standard shock. It comes within half a millimeter of the upright under full extension. The wider version can fit a much larger variety of shocks and have more travel due to how the longer lever arm works. The upright can be installed using a 3mm roll pin or a Tamiya 3mm screw pin. I use those personally. Ill do a video on those after the lighting on the LB. UHG! The stupid emblem. I forgot about that too. Yuppers. I have two versions. The stock one and the cursive one. I'm on it. BF front grille first. You guys should see the list I have..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This means it breaks when you look at it. For now nothing is available that is cost effective. If you want gloss I recommend a few passes of gloss paint or gloss clear. It helps a lot.

gpgp01 36 Posted August 2, 2016 Oh, I did not aware of that the 540 motor may hit the rear damper in spite of installing third damper mod. I had thought that third damper mod was the most suitable way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had thought that third damper mod was the most suitable way. The third shock mod is a good one. In fact, on the Super Hornet it may be the only way but for the CW01, at least for me, it is sub optimal. Hitting the rear shock is not something I feel is good.
