mrsossidge Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 This looks brill. My lad has an Ion and he loves it. Which Tbones did you buy. Looking on the tbone ebay store and can't see ion listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtheg Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Are, well the ion comes under a lot of names ie helion animus, himoto mastadon, and very similar to hsp knight. If you look on the previous page im using the helion diffs:D a lot stronger.... On the t bones website they are under the himoto iron track / centro http://t-bone-racing.net/C125-TBR-Thrasher2-front-bumper-21050-Himoto-Iron-Track-Ce-p1083.html They fit perfect only problem is the screws underneath should of been countersunk. Anymore questions ask away:D sent from my s3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
