Has anyone found an option for shock springs yet?
I would have thought they would have released a set when they released the truck. Pretty retarded IMHO.
HPI and OFNA have 13mm shock springs. Dont know if the lengths work though.

The cvd pin doesn't need to be completely encapsulated in the bearing, it just needs a little to hold it in. But if a wheel comes off you could loose a pin. Or you could get the old style MIP set screw style pin retainers, they go right in the sc102x4 FT cvd's, probably the same on these. I always loc-tight the FT aluminum nyloc's but the serated style bolts work better to keep the wheels on but they are heavier, the traxxas nuts were steel last time I had some. Lol, maybe 1/2g or so but it adds up!

> CNC serrated aluminum, large diameter wheel nuts used at each corner allow the fastest maintenance and offers the most wheel holding torque to prevent wheels from loosening.
From the HPI site HPI103908 is the Part#

I noticed there were a bunch of little clips in the shock parts bag. Can someone explain what these are for? I am thinking these are used to limit shock travel and control droop since there are no droop screws. Can someone confirm this?

Hex Help...
Guys,
I posted about this about 2 days ago. Same issue, and yes my cvd pins came out. I had just put electronics I'n and was setting mesh and belt. I shimmed like crazy, but unneccesaily to fnd out. Once u put the hex's and wheels on tight, they are tight as well and o issues. However, I like mine really tight so when I have it on the bench and am working, like I was, they won't come off. So I ended up using 2 each rear 2 front. Still may add 1 n front tho.

Remove Hex and Drive Pin. Use a very small dab of shoe goe on the pin and a little bit in the drive pin side of the hex. Bolt wheel back on and let dry. Now when you pull your wheels off the hexs don't move but you can pop them off easy enough if needed for service.

Savox Servo Help
I am running savox 1268 servo, MMP SCT system, Spektrum micro receiver, M11 with spektrum module not the pro. i know the savox is a high voltage servo. My problem is that it is glitchy and also effects the motor and esc. How do I eliminate this any help is appreciated. Also, I am running a 35C 5000mah 2S lipo.
I purchased capacitorys online and made my own with two caps for the rx to help keep the voltage spikes up. Also if you have a Castle-link, bump the voltage from the default 5.5 to 6.0, More volts pull less amps. Finally make sure you end points are set correclty so the servo is not pushing agains a stop causing a high amp draw as well.
Hope this helps

What can I do to tighten the truck a bit? When trying to take corners at higher speeds it seems like all the weight is on the outside rear tier and the inside front will lift and the truck wants to spin out. This problem is even worse on off camber turns or turns right after downsiding a jump. Setup is stock.

Where o where can I find Piano wire?
I am trying to build sway bars but can not find piano wire? Do you guys know of some distributors? I have the hardware ready, used an old OFNA kit, but the bars I have are way weak, and I need much thicker but can't seem to find any. Checked all the piano shops, but no luck. Guess I'm hoping for another alternative!?!?
Thx
