Thundershot etc suspension hinge pins

Recommended Posts

About to fit new A parts to my terra scorcher and would like to use e clip hinge pins for the suspension arms. Are there any sets for other cars that have the right sizes? 

Edit...

Looks like the minimum lengths between e clips are

2x21mm

2x22mm

1x45mm

3x47mm

On my recent new built tshot (in my showroom) i used a mixture of steel shafts, from the tl-01 set and shafts from g6-01 lower arm brace, a Tamiya spacer set was also needed to take up some slop, it came out really well

The shafts used in this build came from the following parts....
Tamiya 53301 stainless steel shaft set
Tamiya 54695 (used for the inc. 37mm and 52mm stainless steel shafts)
Tamiya 53539 spacer set (to remove slop from shafts)

unfortunately i didn't make an exact list at the time, I'd have to go back and measure up each shaft!

Id have to buy the sets anyway so it doesnt matter if you dont remember which exact ones.

Ill go price them up.

I ended up buying some stainless rod. Ill make a grooving tool for the lathe and make a set of hinge pins.

Depending how easy it is to machine all the grooves i may even be able to offer other members custom sets for these cars.

All depends how making the grooving tool goes.
