Gotcha, I may see if the hobby shop has them this Friday. It's the caps I'm most concerned with. The plastic seems really weak and they seem to generate a lot of slop quickly. Thanks for the info.

Exotek made some real nice delrin ones along with some in aluminum but I can't find them anymore. Aluminum on aluminum always sounded like a bad idea to me.

I have a question about anti squat.
How can a shim above the rr suspension holder affect anti squat?
Always thought it is only affected by the shims under the fr and rr suspension holders...
Thanks !

You always need to have a total of 1mm shims for the rear hanger. This prevents The bulkhead and transmission from binding. The most antisquat is 1mm above the rear hanger. The least is 1mm below. You can also run .5mm above and below.
