I ordered all of it from RCPl...t and got an email from PP that they refunded part of the order, which was the item above... couldn't cancel the order so now I need to order them somewhere else. I will never order from them again, I would of at least expected a call/email telling me they were out to give me that option. So I am getting everything but the most important part to complete my mod....

Sorry for the rant. Any alternatives. - Amains server is jammed, can't get on the site.

Thanks

Losi XXXT springs and the Traxxas upper collar cut the cup and glue the collar to it. I will have my buddy who did this post the steps

Thanks all

i used the top and the bottom parts from the traxxas upper and lower combo...

just took alittle rub with a body reamer to make it slide on good, stays on very well... only time i had one come off was when i broke a front bulkhead from a pretty decent crash over a triple into a wall lol

I bought some of the older Losi spring cups like the ones found on the XXXT part #LOSA5079, and then I bought 4 of the TRA3768 shock collars. The spring cups are just slightly smaller than the 22 cups, so I took a razor blade and split the traxxas collar so I could fit it over the spring cup. Then I super glued the traxxas collar to the spring cup and cut the shaft opening the same size. Spring sets on it perfectly. Fits the AE shock end perfectly. Obviously its easier to use the Losi cups, but they are M.I.A. Out here. I will post a pic in a minute.

Here is the prior post Brent mentioned. I have been using these on my B4.1 for a few weeks now. No problems.

I emailed and asked if it had been canceled and was told it had. When I asked about my refund I was repeatedly ignored. I waited figuring it would just take a few days for the refund to go through paypal, even though I know its as simple as logging in and clicking on refund payment. I ended up having to file a paypal dispute and then escalating it to a claim to get my money back.

IF I get a ball diff, some better shocks and some other little stuff along with my 8mm chassis will I be that far off from a worlds edition ? I'm just trying to get competitive...
