Hi , ive just bought a used rudebits db1 :) , and the seller i bought it off doesn't know which front end was fitted , i'd like to run it next weekend but need to get some spares sorted :thumbsup: would anyone know for sure which front end it has ( sp , wc ?? ) with the measurements ?? anyway here they are ..

accross the front hinge pin mount holes < 37mm >
and front arm lengh between holes < 74 >

also whats the best front end to fit ? and most forgiving / easy to drive etc..


Anymore tips , been told it has rb5 rear wishbones aswell ..

cheers :thumbsup:

Should be simple to check.

If your front hinge pins brace is gunmetal colored it should be a WC (shortest front block, larger wishbones), if it is blue it should be a SP (wider block and shorter wishbones).

I like the SP one on my DB although the WC is more aggressive and got more steering.

After a quick check, SP hinge pins gap is 40mm.
