Strobe sprong and adjuster nut replacement parts

[Blazerss]

I have a few Strobe sprong and adjuster nut pieces that I have made. These are not Strobe parts, but rather parts that I have made with permission from the original producer of the Strobe parts. There are noticeable differences between what I have made and the original Strobe parts.

First is the sprong. I have made them out of black Delrin. I have also changed the thickness of them. The reason behind the change is that with the original sprong you couldn't install the sprong, adjuster nut, and the nylon locknut and still have the threads reach the nylon section of the locknut (or at least I never could). So I made the sprongs thinner to allow the locknut to be installed and to have the threads actually reach the nylon part of the nut. I have made sprongs for the original adjuster nut and then also sprongs for my adjuster nut.

The adjuster nut I have created has no knurled outer ring, but instead it has an 8mm hex nut milled into the back of the nut. The problem I saw with the original was that once it was installed and after it had been used a while it would become very hard to remove. People started putting pliers on the knurled area and would mess up the knurling. With my part you can simply put a Traxxas 8mm wrench on it and tighten or loosen it as needed.

Here is a video of my sprong being tested on a lightening. You can see for yourself how it performs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMsMwNYEtbU










I don't have a ton of these, but if I run out and there is enough interest I can do another run of the nuts or sprongs, or both. Please message me if you are interested or want more info.

Here is pictures of one of my sprongs with an original strobe adjuster nut and then of the original Strobe nut and sprong to show the difference in how the locknut fits and reaches the nylon.
