Behold the glory of the D413 shelf toy.

Check out my bad boy. This is where she lives due to a broken front shock tower and not so good parts support.

I think the part they are looking for is the front tower mount and not the CF part: http://www.hpiracing.com/en/part/112773

Xray is a good buggy but the parts are crazy expensive.

Not that we should ease up on the lack of parts support from HB but...let's think outside the box. There are bound to be handy folks on this thread that can make some of the parts that people are waiting for. Shock shafts would be pretty easy to whip out if someone has access to 1045 medium carbon steel and a metal lathe. Not sure how the front brace is breaking but maybe someone could fab a piece we could add to it to firm up a broken one or prevent them from breaking.

Has no one measured up another manufactures front shafts to see if will work? I know I used to use losi out drives for my 408 durango and used my 408 rear shock shaft in my serpent 811 just had to make hole bigger in the piston got me thru till I got a new one.

I've posted two different times for people that I am currently running Kyosho shafts. Just have to be careful on shaft stroke spacing, it will bottom out into the shock cap.

Default Kyosho shock caps

I managed to find this old post but I am not sure there is enough info to work with. I assume that all Kyosho shafts are not all the same so a part number or model would be helpful. Also would be good to know what eyelets were used. Was this for the front and/or rear?

I don't see what the problem is with part support? Either buy spares, 2 of your main breakages or just simply quit crashing Parts are going to go in and out of stock places. Ebay works wonders on parts.

Kyow5184 42mm. I'm not sure what all info you needed though? well you would be assuming correctly, that's why you should measure your remaining good front shock shaft and then choose any brand that uses a 3mm shock shaft with a length as close as possible to the one you need, I just happened to use Kyosho since I run an rb6 I could always recycle the shafts onto that. You're going to need to run 2.5mm internal limiters and no more than 24mm shock stroke. Don't know the part number but it's the traxxas slash spring cups.
