Anyone out there using HPI Cup Racer shocks on an M03? They look like they are longer travel then the stock shocks and I am trying to build my second mini for rally/off road use.

I saw a lot of other post on how to use rc18 bowties and protect the electronics but nothing on frankenstiening parts.

Thanx in advance for any help.
You don't need longer shocks. With the standard shocks at full (normal) length the angle on the front driveshaft is already right on the limit. Any longer and they'll just start binding up really badly.

What we advise on the site is realistically the limit of travel of an M03 rally car.
