Don't know where he got it though.
My car was bomb proof apart from that and I ran 5.5 6.5 7.5 in it with no problems oh and make sure it's got serrated front wheel nuts as they have a tendency to come off,i only changed it because of the lack of trackside spares available I ended up buying a spare car

The alloy one you saw was panch's, its a remodelled team car with a few revisions to the original car allowing it to accept geared diff. HPI do have spares so it may be worth contacting them and seeing if they can sell them to you or supply your local model shop with the parts you need. I've been running the D4 this year at nationals and made the F final at Os' with a standard (plastic gearbox) version. Way higher than I made with a Durango the previous year!
JEspares do have a light stock of D4 parts too, but if you can, find somewhere like amain and order bulk. Theyre cheap enough.
Shauns does have the WCE slipper and the strengthened diff bolts already so no need to buy those. :)
As for serated nuts. I've never run serated nuts on mine and never had a problem with them coming loose.
There does seem to be a few on here for sale recently, so it may be worth looking them up and possibly buying a spare car. |
