Wasn't there two extra shock shafts in your box?

 

[phx123]

For the rear..they are longer.....but I am thinkin I'm gonna put them in and use some fuel tubing to take up the extra length. Atleast till the parts come in

 

[Rush Evo man]

oh dear.

 

[phx123]

So not only did I break the shock shafts I even broke the stupid little c-clips that hold the valve to the shafts..WTF Who has ever broke a c-clip let alone two??

Oh and the c-clips are 3mm..I can't believe with all my Maxx stuff and everything else I have I dont have anything 3mm..oh well hobby store here I come

 

[Rush Evo man]

My Local Hobby store on Vancouver Island (west coast of canada) its actually called BC Shaver and Hobbies..

Ah vbgagnon beat me to it...Rush can come all the way here if he wants to...alittle far haha

Anyone making tires/wheels for this buggy? I have one on order, will be here in a week or so. I wanted to put on a more aggressive rear tire, like a chevron pattern or something. Something that would work all around in grass, loamy dirt, sand, street (and not break the nubbies off, I hate when I break the nubbies). Any thoughts?
