Aluminum replacement for this part? (HPI MT2 Front upright)

[Collegedub]

Here's the part listed.... http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFYT3&P=7

I thought this might work... http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0004p?&I=HBSC6102

Any ideas/suggestions? I just broke this part when i ran into something harder then my truck yesterday :shrug:

TIA

I don't think so. The MT2 uses a front suspension that's updated for the MT2 (according to the HPI web site) and there might be pickup point variances.

What did you break? If you ripped the Allen head screw out of the hub you can replace it with a coarse thread screw to repair it. This is what I had to do on my MT2.

Nah, i split the C hub on the lower "arm". It's completely busted. I ordered a set of the OEM ones for now. Gonna order the aluminum ones from neweramodels.com, I think. Thanks Mustang.

I have already been through about three or four of the plastic knuckles.

I got the parts from neweramodels as well as the towerhobbies parts. The newera parts fit better but the towerhobbies part fit nicely too.
