I have and I know some others have just cut the center out of the bladder and used them as emulsion with the stock shock cap.

I cut the center out of my bladders to make emulsion style, and run as little rebound as I can get.

After these debates they finally made it open for all electric classes. I will say this. My 13.5 with boost, geared 26/80 (team c Evo) was beastly. It was just as fast as my 7.5 but didn't have the bottom end my 7.5 does. I agreewith you, don't be scared of mod it's cheaper and safer for your car.

8drenlnjunkE,

All updated parts are available separately through the Hobby Pro website and Hobby Pro Dealers. We are always working to improve our products and we take pride in that.



Tijuana_Taxi,

The new style CF Towers are running changes and will certainly be available separately. (same part # as current CF Towers)

freddy j.,

Yes over 80% of the parts are interchangeable from buggy to truck. This has been very easy to manage for our dealers, consumers and our very own warehouse as parts management and availability is key! ; )

As Hobby enthusiasts ourselves, we understand the importance for great parts support and customer service. If anyone has any questions or concerns regarding our products, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Dealer and Team Driver Inquiries Welcome!
