I am looking for a truggy body that will fit my Hot Bodies D8T. Which JConsepts body would work best?

I'm going to need those ball cups... I hate doing ball cups but those will be worth it. i always use a rag over my ball cups when popping them so that I dont scar them. Lol

We discontinued our D8T body; you might want to look at the Mugen body. You will have to do the front body mount mod like the PL guys do.

The new cups are working very well, but I recommend pre-tapping them or using a little bit of grease on the treads. They are made with a much harder material and are tight on the threads.

are the 4 angled ball cups used to move the rear camber link away from the rear shock ?

The standard AE tie rods will work with these?

They are actually designed to give more clearance for the rear wheel on the outer hub, but you could use them on the inside to help get a little extra clearance for the shock.

Thanks in advance!
