Any good hop-ups I mean.
I'm not very keen on the standard hub carrier part SD-4134, so was wondering if the new bd5 ones fitted

thanks

Sd-4134 are junk. I switched to BD5 c-hub and steering knuckle, much better handling. You need to buy the BD5 hubs, knuckles, kingpins, and 44mm universals for it to work.

Or the cheaper route is to buy hpi pro 4 c-hubs, they fit the old BD knuckles no problem. But you still need to buy the pro 4 steering bushings and ball studs for that to work.I will post pictures of my conversion tomorrow when I'm home.

Oh and the BD5 steering rack bolts right onto the old BD. Just get some longer turnbuckles, 43mm I think.
