tekno is very good about parts support, and the vehicle has been quite durable from what I am seeing, especially on the parts wear department.

Are you talking about the shock bolts?

I stand corrected helps to read things.

I don't have a Truggy yet, but I don't know why they wouldn't work. I looked at the instructions and they both use the same screw.

The truggy's screws are recessed into the A-arms that's why these ones with the larger heads wont work.

I thought the same thing, jmcelroy42 is mostly correct. I asked Bornhorst a few moments ago and he said "Because the truggy arms have the indent for the screw and the head on the new bolts are so thin that you can't get a nut driver in there when it's past the indent."

Same thing I was just told. But you could probably make them work with alittle modding.

Can someone tell me which pills to use to get 4 degrees of rear toe if I'm using the lrc rear brace? And is it the same for the truck?

I got a great upgrade. HPI 107446. Comes with 2 long and 2 short rod ends. Buy 2 and use the short ones. They also use a set screw to secure the spring cup so the rod end.

Direct switch. Shock shafts are the same diameter.

The cups are still keyed into the shock ends. They also aren't threaded more than the short ones. I suppose you could cut and drill, and just use the set screw to lock them on the end.
