Front Wishbones

[andys]

I've finally run out of spare front wishbones for the BJ/Slim4 (The newer heavy duty ones I think, from the worlds car). Anyhow, my questions are:


a:Where to get them from in the UK ?
b:Jimmy mentioned something about the new Tamiya ones fitting, are they a direct fit / replacment, aparently they are much stronger ? If so, anyone know a LHS that keeps them. Ta.

The Tamiya wishbones are not a direct fit at all - I've yet to fit them but they need drilling and the hulkhead insert needs trimming I think. they are stronger for sure.

DCRacing has front wishbones in stock.

Depends what you're doing I broke 5/6 just at the Euros last year. Since then i never broke one. I was lent a brushless by LRP though, so maybe I went a bit power crazy.

It just must all go down to the angle the wishbones are being hit. I went the whole 2006 season without breaking a single arm and was involved in some spectacular crashes with no breakages and then this year I have broken two with the slightest of taps into the car infront.
