Yep, Dinky RC. I came across it on ebay, being sold by Dinky himself. I'll try to post a few pics when I'm home tomorrow.

If you guys need options for Wraith or Yeti length trailing arms, I have both versions of UCfab's on my site.

Full shot. Apparently it's also gravity defying

I used the stock lowers that came with the kit as rear uppers and CI Delrin high clearance uppers and lowers on the front.

I have Vanquish uppers with jato ends to get the extra length.

I have the blue monkey rear trailing arms. It comes with a shock relocation setup and it angles the arms, it doesn't look scale but works pretty good.

Those aren't trailing arms. You just have link mounted shocks.

Trailing arm is a suspension design, not a part.

"A trailing-arm suspension, sometimes referred as trailing-link is a vehicle suspension design in which one or more arms (or "links") are connected between (and perpendicular to and forward of) the axle and a pivot point (located on the chassis of a motor vehicle)."

New shock setup. Now mounted so they are straight up and not angled.

I'm not saying the part is wrong, I'm saying they're installed incorrectly.

I would default to a larger company, like VP, for how "trailing arms" are to be installed.



Not your fault, just not "trailing arms"

Ah, now I see, just have to move where the arms are mounted to the Wraith skid...will be changing that up.
