Status: offline 		I ushally list all my parts and cars on RCU. I don't sell on ebay often. But You can find some Raco parts on ebay if you look hard enough. There is a guy that is selling all his JR's, but only one at a time. He maty have some extra parts for them to. These parts are hard to find so I imagine that you will be spending aboout $80 for a pair of rear trailing arms. I have the front ones if you need them. Let me know, I have no need for them at this time.

Status: offline 		i got the header from my local hobby shop www.dougshobbyshop.com mac's headers are popular with the marine crowd so it's should be readily available. the tuned pipe was made by majorsmakedown on ebay for $45 bucks. be aware you will have to trim the bulkhead and put a spacer where the shock mounts for the exhaust to fit.

Status: offline 		nope. credit goes to larry cross at www.quarterscalemotorsports.com he hooked them up for me. to me anyone who drives a jac rabbit will break a trailing arm, it's only a matter of time . i have. these ones seem to be bullet proof . it makes me want access to a machine shop real bad.
