My only point was that Tamiya never intended the recess to be for a bearing.

Yes, you are right about that, Lars. I still do believe Taki and his design team had intentions of using bearings there, but that the idea was scrapped sometime in the process. The reason we used to install those extra bearings was that people said that without it the rear axle could bend, because things could get stuck inside it, and there were simply more axle free to bend. That was supposedly the reason for it being removed on the mk2 arms. It could of course be just a myth too, but at least we believed it back then. The trick with the fuel tube I learnt from a guy at the LHS, I believe. I could remember that wrong, though.

That does look like a mk2 arm, not a Super Champ arm.

Of course it is (small hole at the rear)

I don't know yet for the black chassis. I have to see if I can build another chassis or not. But I think that it will be sold in à Job lot.

Yes, and 2 grub screw holes. The Super Champ had 4.

that's done.

still spares available but several are gone

no more gears nor rear arms

I could use that camlock

Need you all spares Jonny ?
PM me your need and offer. I remove the auction

They look like a couple of cool 70's racers

I could use both rear arms i think and maybe a gear, have to take a look at my srb project.
