The hirobo 12mm hex problem. Curiosity I bought some cheap tamiya hpi axles. Then some 10x15x4 bearings to fit the cup of the axle. Can't find 5x15x5 to fit the narrow part of the axle but used 6x15x5 zerda with some spacer (rolled plastic for the time being). Offered up to zerda steering knuckle to...

Can't find 5x15x5 bearings so used the zerda 6x15x5 with some spacer. Plastic until maybe some 6mm tube with .495 wall is acquired. Dadio printed some 4mm knuc...

Shock data. Piston shaft lengths 41mm and 33mm x 3mm Piston head 7.5mm dia Cylinder barrel 38mm plus 8mm fixing head Dia 10mm wall thickness abt 0.5mm The oil passing around the piston instead of through holes is a poor point in design. So is the method of fixing seals in the cap. And shafts wear by...

Also alternative body posts kit for other body options.
