Slugsie Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The RTR has plastic bodied shocks. The SS has aluminium. I've not seen the SS aluminium ones for sale separately, but I've also not looked too hard. The ones I linked are the only aluminium ones I've seen.

Slugsie Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I looks like the XS SS shock part number is 108073. However I can't find a picture anywhere of what is included. It's just described as HPI Aluminum Shock Body Set (gunmetal 2pcs). I think it's just the body though, and you will need to buy all the other bits, although if you're just upgrading the stock plastics on the XS you could probably just get the body, the caps, and the adjuster wheel. All the part numbers can be fodun by looking through the XS SS manual here: http://www.hpieurope.com/manuals/pdf/107821.pdf Furthermore almost nowhere seems to have them in stock.

skuzzy12 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) I broke my stock uprights too http://www.liquidrc....oducts_id=71430 Ones i ordered very happy with them and the build quality Also just noticed some nice shocks at $28 http://www.liquidrc.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2681627_661&products_id=64025 Edited December 29, 2012 by skuzzy12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smash Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I broke my stock uprights too http://www.liquidrc....oducts_id=71430 Ones i ordered very happy with them and the build quality Also just noticed some nice shocks at $28 http://www.liquidrc.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2681627_661&products_id=64025yep they are great until you want to get the pin out of them to do some wrenching, then you'll be cursing them, the quality is very good though just a slightly poor design choice as the need a small hole at the base of each pin to let you poke them out again..

david hutcho Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 hey people.. i ended up getting a XSss.. but i keep exploding the little pins that go in the front CVD's Any idea's why? i was only running it on a leopard 9T 60a combo and it was doing it then.. im ordering a tenshock 3500Kv motor and a SC8 today.. itd be a nightmare with that amount of power :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) The tenshock wont fit with out some huge mods to the TVPs and also you will have to source a 5mm 48dp pinion which is near enough impossible, think Hot Racing do them tho Do you mean the pins in the CVD's or the pins in the wheel hexs????

david hutcho Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 good job ive just told him i dont want it anymore >.< he just put it up for sale on here (its kaylan) i have ordered this instead http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160819299120?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649.. and its the pins in the actual CVD's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 That's odd, i never broke one pin in the CVD's, but must have done 10 or so in the hexs, drill blanks always make great pins, pain in the arse to cut but tough as hell Good choice of combo, the same as what i had in mine, triple and quad back flips for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david hutcho Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Ooo what size drill bit did you use? ill just buy a couple and spend a day cutting them with my dremal Hmmm just had a thought... ive not been lock titing the little grub screw that holds the pin.. that could be working its way loose and... well you know .

.AJ. Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Im not sure what size the ones you want are, but ive used ones like this for 2mm hex pins before http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53e271fb01 Edited January 4, 2013 by .AJ.

david hutcho Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Cheers pal, i got one on the way.. if it doesnt fit the CVD's itll fit the wheel hex's . and i just thought.. i didnt thread lock the grub screw holding the pins in... maybe they are backing off a little and letting it smash against something to make them smash? il take it apart later and threadlock them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david hutcho Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hehe! just got my SC8 combo... ITS A BEAST! lipos are now back on charge and im going to go out and bash some more . Next thing to do... Buy more tyres... the stock ones just spin up no matter what i drive on lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugsie Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I got a new set of uprights delivered today. Went to fit them and I can't find my spare dog-bones (one went missing when the upright split) so I've had to order a new set of dog-bones too.

Slugsie Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You run 4S? WTF!?!? What gearing do you use, and how is it anything other than completely uncontrollable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
