so if I am understanding correctly, you want the inner rear hingepins?
Assuming the part is the same as on the Hot bodies D8, you can just buy the Hingepins from a Mugen MBX6 being parted out on ebay and A LOT of the pins fit on the vehicle. This is what I have on my converted D8. was cheap too off of ebay.

I've only had mine for a few days but I'm loving this car! It's a HUGE upgrade from a 1/16 scale car, as far as off-roading and handling bumps goes. I've de-decaled most of the body and wing, reamed some holes above the motor (so that I can read the motor temp without removing the body), replaced the center diff fluid with 100k, geared up to 19/22, had to remove the ESC on/off switch due to malfunction, and I also changed the ESC settings via CastleLink. My settings are stock except for... 30% punch control and 25% braking. So far I've only run 4s and 5s, and the 3s that I use in series for 5s is seeming to puff, although it's a brand new hardcase battery. Will this puffing diminish with time? With this gearing though I'll have to stick to the street, since with the stock gearing and 4s I was seeing temps of 150-160F here in hot TX (though it was 90F ambient). The pavement was 130F yesterday! Pretty soon I'll be replacing fluid in the front/rear diffs and shocks, as well as cleaning/oiling the bearings. I'm so glad that I was so lucky in buying a used Vorza! Oh, and my 6s is en route.
Also, when using the scriptasylum speedcalc, which car (or gear ratios) do we select for these cars?
For those interested in speed running, I've found some tires that won't balloon. They're meant for 1/8 GT cars and they're belted, so this is why they don't balloon. I'm too new to post links, but go to sweepracingusa.com and look for the 1/8 GT EXP belted treaded radials. I got 4 of them premounted/shipped for $70.

Broken Rotor
Hey guys
Im only on page 384 of the forum so far but i have a question that i need an answer to. I was bashing with my Vorza today in the garden when it just seized. Like literally, it was as though the brakes engaged or something. Upon closer inspection, i see that my rotor has come apart
Has this happened to anyone and if so, does the warranty cover it? (bearing in mind i stay in South Africa, but the car is only two months old)

EDIT: I am running the stock gearing (15/48) on 6S
