That is, imho, the best looking shell I have seen. Did you come up with the design?

Link to who did it?

The actual shell has been sold previously, I am having it redone. When I get them, I will post the pics. If the B44.1 comes out the same, I will post it up too.

No more scratched shock towers. Wish I had them before I scratched shock caps. Have to get some nail polish and repaint but these things are cool!

They are the shock protectors on the hpi forza flux. With a little drimmel action they will fit!

Cool, thanks.

BTW, it looks like you did the same as me - steering turnbuckles installed the wrong way. The flat side should be on the passenger side, like the upper camber links. I asked a few pages back about it. I think the manual is incorrect. Just FYI. You just need to unscrew and flip 'em over. At least that is how it looks in your pic.

That is what I gather.

Is this how yours looks? Mine didn't after following the manual.

I don't think it really matters, as long as they all face the same direction. That way, you can turn each turnbuckle the same direction to make them longer/shorter.

Thanks for verifying that the Vorza Flux shock protectors fit. I saw that in another thread, but I didn't see where anyone tried it with an RC8Be. I'll have to buy a set.

Yes, they will fit... That being said they do have to be modified a bit. Cut a bit out drimmel wider and perfect! I just put them on last night. Buggy is almost ready for this weekend. Rebuilding center diff tonight!
