Legends car spindles
Sven - 16/9/05 at 07:47 PM

Anyone thought about or tried using the spindles for Legends race cars? 600racing.com sells something that looks rather tasty but I'm not sure what they based it on. The hubs look like Toyota items but it's hard to tell.

hmm, checked out the site. they look like they would be perfect for a lightweight car. the price is not bad too. to bad the legend cars arent irs, then you could get a matching set front to rear.

i wonder what how big the front brakes are, but you could allways make adapters for different calipers

I considered using them for my build. The company that makes the Legends car (Racing600) is right down the street from my house. I need to go over there and pick up a steering u-joint.

600 racing is a reseller of parts. They have specified the ONLY parts that can be used on the cars in their race series. You can only race cars sold by them in the Legend series.
Dwarf cars, Mod lights, Vintage lights are a whole other matter. More open rules. Home made and store bought cars. Lots of places sell parts for these. Might just take a bit of Googling to find what your after. Be warned they are light weight parts not designed for on road use and may be subject to DOT aproval in any particular area.

Quick question Sven.

Are those uprights set up for kingpins on a solid axle? Or some sort of independent front suspension?

Suppose they'd be adaptable either way.

Cheers, Ted

Well, I've seen pics of them setup for independant front suspension. The photos show the uprights having ball joint tapers which are not aligned as they would be using kingpins.
