Snapped the rt front shock shaft right at the lower mount. Yard sale'd the spring and spring cup. Appears it snapped right at the lower droop notch. Has anyome else had this happen? Could this be a potential weak spot with the shocks being right out front? Why did HB's not etch the shafts instead of notchimg them?

Hmm, out of the ten D413's running up here, I haven't seen that happen..But like Jason said, being the first thing to contact any object that is motionless I would say that stuff's going to happen. I am very impressed with this cars durability having run quite a few different brands in the past, so far it stands alone in that dept...

Careful the rc shox Ackerman pushes the. Ball stud forward creating more Ackerman then stock position, Making it more twitchy

Unfortunately I also had my first breakage..... coming through a rythym section a marshall dropped a 4wd SCT directly infront of me. With no time to turn or stopped I slammed into him. Snapped the rt front shock shaft right at the lower mount. Yard sale'd the spring and spring cup. Appears it snapped right at the lower droop notch. Has anyome else had this happen? Could this be a potential weak spot with the shocks being right out front?

Coming from a B44 used to the towers and arms being out front of the shocks. Kinda preferred it actually. Arms are cheaper and quicker to replace then pulling a shock body apart. guess I was just curious if others were having similar breakage.
Thanks Jason, always watching and rewatching your you tube vids.

I don't think this is right. Moving forward means less ackermann and more aggressive steering. Moving it backwards means more ackermann and less aggressive steering.

Anyone know whats up with HPI Hotbodies and all the backordered parts. I checked Amain and like 30% of the parts are all back-ordered. Wanted an m3x20 screw, backordered. Front shock shaft: backordered. Steering rack: also backordered

This car is great, but i wish i'd bought an XB4. Parts are really hard to get
