Yea then thats probally why. Yep yours isn't the hpi one. Mine is wider than yours. The only real thing that those things do is make your ride hieght higher. If your car handels nice now. Dont worry about changing it.

Yea that crash just sound mean. I'd be mad if I crashed my impulse like that cause its so hard to get parts for it. I ran it to day before it started raining It runs preety good. Its setup better than my r40 is. I ran it using my r40 clutch and surprisingly it worked!
