Super blackfoot alternative front suspension arm

Recommended Posts

Hello, does anyone know of any other part that can sub for the original SBF F2 and F3 parts? They are part of the front arms where the steering knuckles screw in. They are hard to find on eBay....hoping Tamiya does a re release on this soon.

I used the normal Blackfoot knuckles on my Bush Devil.  They work with the arms just fine.  I did this b/c the KBF/BD has bad bump-steer.  The Parma BF front axle fixed this, but needs a standard BF knuckle.

I had the shock mounted in the normal BF position, but moved them to where you would put in the top arm screw ("BC5" nut in your pix above).

My new problem is that the shock sits forward of the vertical center-line of the arms, so when it compresses, it also wants to rotate...  The SBF/BD knuckles fixed this by placing the front shock behind the mounting plate, and attaching in the middle of the knuckle...
