Found out about the suspension weakness this weekend, shocks were brittle, didn't take much to snap em, in 5 minutes of tennis court bashing, my son is mortified

My sons mad bull is pretty nippy (modded) so I'm looking for a wheel adapter. Just checking junfuc clodbuster adapters will they fit?

Hi I'm trying to dress up my sons tamiya mad bull for xmas and I'm trying to find a 17mm hex adapter set that will fit the tamiya mad bull so I can fit some wicked wheels. Anyone know of any available?

My df02 is being built for sheer speed, so I too will be running 3s. I find it a difficult car to get advice on lol and most mods so far are purely my own trial and error. I call him Frankenstein and he's becoming less and less tamiya

Noj, on the subject of diff oils/greases which cst/wt do you use? And the speed tuned spur?

Ouch doesn't sound good!

Can anyone help with advice on converting my Tamiya DF02 gravel hound geared diff to a. Rear and front ball diff setup? Which ball diffs fit including aftermarket stuff like 3racing etc? What other drivetrain replacement parts will I need to complete the conversion? Many thanks in advance.

Yeah will do, thanks for the lead and hopefully they be just right. I can see why many give up on the df02 but it can be made sweet

Alex97 I had a look at those losi springs, I may give them a try and get the 22t and 22sc sets, but having a hard time sourcing the blue springs

Yeah I was thinking of clips but a correct spring length would be preferred. So any truggy / short course fans using 12mm bore shocks that can help out on spring lengths?

Its the rear shocks that's very slappy the trf501x rear springs are not long enough to get enough tension

Anyone know where I can find some big bore (12mm wide) springs in 75mm - 85mm in length (uncompressed) ? I have a df02 with some rather nice trf501x shocks, but the 70mm length springs are not long enough even with the stiffist springs its slappy! So I wanna aim for 80mm min with a 12 mm bore width. Thanks in advance. P.s chuck 70mm springs in front for excellent ride height (just right) on reds. Just gotta sort back springs!

Any idea on kit prices chaps? Thanks for the lead!

I found elite models but the site looks dodge to say the least! No prices, Tesco's email, no company number or vat number. All the signs of 'stay away' as there is no secure payment system.

Been struggling to find anywhere in the uk that sells a serpent 966e or serpent s100, any clues? Desperately want a 1/8th or 1/10 scale pan car for a speed project so are there any other options?
