I am in the process of teaching myself to drift which is one of the big things I wanted to do, but after driving it a few times in my apartment complex I have resorted to taking the body off to drive it. All of this leads in to my actually question, I am sure in the many many pages of this thread its been stated but is there a way to increase ground clearance so that the body shell wont take chips and dings? I understand I run the risk of hitting a curb and what not, but I do not have the means to replace a 100 dollar body every couple of months just from normal driving. I would love to eventually have a rally style car but I don't think I understand enough of the terms to convert my current car, and the only 2 I can seem to find that are RTR are the Traxxsis rally and the up coming hpi wr8 flux any suggestions there?

Am I crazy? They swing shaft need to be a good bit longer to have the drive pins land in the middle of the cups.

do you have the fronts and rears swapped? They are different lengths.

If you go back to the early days of this thread. This was a common problem from day one. They would just pop out randomly during a turn. I took over a year for Hpi to make the upgrades available. I’m 99 percent sure these are what we all used.
