I saw some on the SMD Direct website the other day. I wouldn't get alloy hubs though. The bad thing about the standard "plastic" hubs is that when they break, they smash and you can see they've smashed, but, the good thing about the standard "plastic" hubs is that when they break, they smash and you can see they've smashed. With alloy versions, you'll either break something else, or they'll bend, and you won't be able to see that they've bent and the car won't handle.

Think they should, but check smd directs website first, as they've slashed the prices of shark stuff

I think you will find that the arm coming of the hub is is longer on the shark compared to the blaze as its wider.

i think the tc ones are the touring car ones and if they are then they are smaller than the normal shark ones, and even smaller than the ftx ones, some of the reduced prices are actually the normal prices at my local shop, ?? weird.

you could give wim a call at action model centre, he has most parts in stock including hop ups.
