Help ! 10mm ball stud doesn't seem to exist
Need some help! Had a minor cartwheel today and broke the carbon fiber rear inner ballstud mount. Lesson learned, will stick with the stock metal piece. However, I bent the 10mm ball stud in the process. The part number is HBS112983, but it doesn't exist anywhere! Not on AMain, Tower, Stormer, Losi Parts House, AbsoluteHobbyz, eBay or even a Google search. I have no idea why that part doesn't seem to exist. Does anyone know where I can buy it, or perhaps another brand that will work? HPI lists the dimensions as 4.8x5x10mm. I use a 2mm washer under that ball stud so it needs to be the 10mm version. I can find the 8 mm version on AMain and Tower. It looks like AE makes a 10mm metric ball students for the TC3 cars, would that work?

Notice how much slop you have in your front wheels? Stock rack is the source of some of this. The Exotek rack will get rid of most of this. At the very least, you can replace the bushing in the stock rack with the Xray steering bushings. They're the same size but made to a much tighter tolerance

What brand of wheel do the spare hexes that come in the kit fit? I thought they were B44 but the hexes are too big. All the other HB drivers in my area seem to have run into the same problem. Anyone else have similar issues?

Great question. Would love to know as well, also related it seems the entire setup (ball ends/cups etc.) looks much different than stock to accommodate the beefier sway bar.

Actually looks a lot like either the D815 swaybar or an associated setup.

Does anyone know ballstuds with long threads? When I was driving with 4mm spacers in front links, inner stud ripped off from the gearbox. So I would need ballstuds with longer threads for more secure.(originals are 15mm?)
anyone know the part number for the xray front hub carrier bushings? are these used in the d413 front hubs instead of the stock ones?
Exotek Part # 1535
Xray Part # XRA362290
Yes used on the front hubs and/or stock ackerman bar. I used 4 in total for D413 C-hub.

Funny you should ask this, I just bent the rear inner ballstud when it ripped out of the rear carbon fiber camber link mount I had. You can't find the stock HB part number (HBS112983) anywhere in the U.S, which really pisses me off, but I digress. The longest ball stud this car uses is 10mm long. The actual dimensions are 4.8mm (ball diameter) x 5mm (height from top of ball to shoulder) x 10mm (thread length). After some extensive research I found that Losi makes a 4.8mm x 10mm long ball stud that works great, the part number is TLR6023. The only difference is that the TLR ball stud is about 6mm from the top of the ball to the shoulder because the shoulder is about 2mm in height. The HB ball stud shoulder is only about 1mm in height. I used these on my car this weekend and they held up great.
