I broke a rear rod last week. I just boiled mine for 12 minutes and they are less brittle and more flex. I will see if that solves the problem. I do like the carbon dust idea. Thanks yeti

I need new o-rings and gaskets for the diffs, anyone know what part number the o rings have?
Do i need to buy a spur gear to get the gasket?

I have not ran the Schelle. But I do run the +6 HB chassis on carpet tracks and it definitely helps calm the car down with the traction being so high.

The standard HB chassis works great on any track that is low-medium/high grip.

The Plus 4 Schelle Carbon Fiber chassis is worth getting and run it on our med/high bite track just fine. I have it on my D413 and made a big different in the rough sections or whoops, plus it jumps better and stays planted better in the 180s and tight turns.

Sometimes with the stock chassi you would get the 1 wheel lift in tight turns or if going in or out of tight turns.

I run the aluminum Schelle on Carpet. Much stiffer ride helps. Also setting the ride height low was a huge difference.

Anybody still stripping out the ball ends from the camber mounts of the nylon bulkheads? Are 'bulkhead savers' needed?

I've been running the plus 4mm schelle carbon or the +4 schelle alum chassis, and both helped quite a bit on medium to high bite clay. I've also run the alum on carpet and I'd highly suggest alum here. Lowers the CG quite a bit and makes the car stiffer. I may even go for a +6 myself soon.

I've been running the front bulkhead with set screws next to my ball studs. haven't torn one out yet.

I am considering this buggy, but parts availability seems terrible. Lots of guys pushing me towards a 22-4 2.0

I hate these kind of decisions!

Since the new ownership parts have been a ton better. You don't have any issues anymore. Just check out Amain and everything that is not labeled HPI which is screws, is in stock.

What's a good way to keep the plastic pieces on the sway bars connected? My sway bars continually come loose.

I bought brand new sway bar ball cups and then used 3x6mm set screws instead of the 3x3mm set screws that come in the kit. The combination of the new ball cups and longer set screws has never failed me in the year since I installed them. It seems the longer grub screws allow you to put more pressure on the sway bar without stripping inside the ball cups.
