Default Rear Inner Hinge Pin to Shock Shafts

I have the atomic carbon rear brace, but have also changed to flipped rear blocks. While I have not had the the rear brace come off yet, I think it could be made a little more secure!! Someone suggested using Rear shock shafts with a e clip on the front of the pivot block and a nut on the rear, outside the brace. Does anyone know which shock shafts are required? 1.0" or 1.2"?

Thanks
Mark

i used the ones outta the rear xx4 shocks (think 1.2 but check)

i put a nut on the threaded end then trimmed to length with a dremmel, i tried the e-clips but kept loosing them.

you can also use the rear hinge pins from the XXX that are designed for clips

or you can raise the rear bumper with a b spacer which lines it all back up to stop it from falling off

I had considered that Niggs, but it would mean a gappy bumper at where it meets the chassis. This would be an area for dirt to build up I would imagine!

Thanks for the suggestion anyhoooo

Cheers,
Mark

You want Losi part A6092, these hinge pins have eclips at both ends and are a perfect fit for the atomic carbon brace
