The Torpedo tube assemblies are something like a quarter-inch shorter than the "standard" tubes. I am TRYING to finally get my torpedo tubes installed on my MX but I'm using longer hardware (the same DuBro 2-56 ball links for 4-40 rod I use for my tie rods) to get the pistons at the correct depth in the tubes.

Just an FYI, at some point late this summer, I'll be doing a new cross brace that will add a second set of holes closer together so that the new Gen-x style tubes will be able to be used with the chassis in their proper stock length.

Nice that everybody's sharing set-up info, I like to see it
