Since I'm not, I'm looking for a solution. The old plastic chubs make the car pushy and inconsistent on carpet with grip, but they're the only things that don't break. It's hard to believe, but the new reinforced chubs actually break more easily.

I picked up a cheap 418 from Tower to abuse on the rug for mod practice, and it's been surprisingly good except that I'm spending more on replacement chubs than the kit itself.

Has anybody tried the 3racing or yeah racing aluminum? Do they interfere with the DCJ's or bend easily? I'm aware of the pitfalls of running aluminum chubs, so I don't need a lecture there. Thanks.

We can go on and on with the sarcasm, but you're right, it's not going to help fix your problem. I've never had to adapt a different component on the car and it sounds like no one else has either. What's an Xray C-hub cost? Time to be a trailblazer, Syndrome...

If you find a solution, it'll be cheaper than buying a set of aluminum hubs. Hope you find one. The car is pretty good.
