Hi guys, I guess this is a easy question for those in the know...
One of my projects on the go at the moment is running a HZ RTS chassis. I am stripping another chassis which is not RTS.
I know the difference is in the chassis rails, so can someone please
tell me if the top and bottom arms and the steering arms are the same, I was gonna keep them for spares but pointless if they different aye

From memory the top arm changed in part # but the design didn't.
The top and bottom control arms can stay and there was a change in the RTS draglink but a few people say they can't spot the difference.I think at the idle arm end the bend is slightly diff
