I lost an e clip on one of the front u joints. When I looked up the part # it calls for a 1.4mm clip, but I can only find 1.5 size clips. I know it's not much but will the 1.5 mm clips hold? Traxxas only sells these with a complete u joint assembly, I would hate to spend $10 for an e clip. Let me know what you think.

Part# 5452

Yeah, you'll be fine, brother. I've done the same thing and the new clips hold just fine.
Whoaaaaaa Silver, I've seen this guy action, proceed with caution!:doc:
















Just bustin on the Monkey, you should be fine. Let me know if you have any problems I may have something, I have to hang on to my stuff until I find out if I can get in as an alternate or not so I haven't or can't sell my Revo yet.
 
Thanks guys! Eddy I was planning on buying a bag of them from Team Fast Eddy.......I have been told that guy is on Fire!

I ordered the clips and a couple of bearings and they should be here in a couple of days, good news right.

Today for some stupid reason I started up the Revo and was crusin it around the yard when I noticed it was revving too fast on take off like the slipper was loose. So I walk up to it and the front shaft is hanging on the outside of the a arm.....I forgot the e clip was missing. now I have to buy the whole assembly :doh:
