Avid chassis is used in carpet to elimate chassis flex. I have a complete set I need to get rid of. Pm me for details of you want.

Chris, I used the AE bushings. You can also use the Kyosho bushings

Anyone know if AE 12mm V2 shock pistons (screw on style) will fit the HB shock shaft?

Are your bushings damaged ? Usually I just replaced the O-rings when I rebuild unless one of those are broken. And HPI does not break up any of the kits for any certain parts it is what it is which sucks.

I would also recommend the traxxas x-rings when rebuilding if you are not using them already. part # TRA2362

Enzo I haven't tried those chassis, but I did get the schelle +4 carbon and love it. This weekend qualified in the Amain at Wolcott which I have never done.

Thanks, I love the way the wheels look with the car, cant stand dish wheels. Going to run some Proline Electrons on them for our track. I really don't care if dish wheels are more sturdy yada yada yada, they look like crap. These blinged out wheels are the closest I could find that remind me of the days when 4wd off road cars looked mean and awesome (Kyosho Optima, Tamiya Hotshot etc...). If I could, I would run the hard rubber pin spike tires that came with them because they look so bad@55.
