@slakr- I remember from my Kyosho days, the thickness of the wheel hexes, which widens or narrows the track, makes a noticeable difference in handling. It might be worthwhile checking to see if the Mugen hexes are the same width as the Hot Bodies ones.
We've never tried a piston with that small of holes, if you give it a try let me know what you find out.

If you are just looking for the drive shafts (not axle stubbs) this will work HPI109858. $15.99 set of 2 at amain. The axle stubbs do not come seperately, but you can by the full set (109857) on ebay for around $40.

Hope that helps.

ted, you could have asked to run my car yesterday. i think someone posted on here or d815 thread that the mbx7 universals are perfect fit front and rear. that might be a better option for you. DH has it in stock.

Aside from the lack of possible self disassembly, is there any other benefit to one piece universals that a nOrMAl person could detect? Drawbacks?
