Special note on Big Bore Shafts

Most of these parts on the big bore (with the exception of the cylinder, shaft, 2nd smaller spring & connecter) are Hellfire shock parts.

You can use the Hellfire shock shafts in your big bore shocks. The Hellfire shafts are the same diameter (3.5 mm) but are shorter by 20 mm or .78 of an inch.

This shorter-shaft will lower your ride height a bit & is less likely to bend than the longer shaft on the big bore. Here is the part #.

Actually there is a hobby shop in Cali that has the shafts in stock.

I got their name from HPI USA by calling (949)753-1099.

You will notice my links go to HPI USA or HPI Europe.

Pretty much the only hobby shop i'll link is SMF if the part comes up when i search it. Dint wanna put a direct link to the guys hobby shop caz i haven't done business with them & don't want it to look like I'm recommending them.

But if you call HPI (949)753-1099, they have a list of shops that carry their parts.

Thanks hypnotiq.:mug:

Let me just tell you i did get alot of roll overs on turns that i even slowed down for. So i did the shock mod on them to prevent that and bring it alittle lower to. I love it man.. Handles amazing and just takes a beating.

anyone know if the bottom caps of the hellfire shock parts are the same as the bottom caps on the hpi big bore shocks ?

 

[Pope]

Yes they are

 

[Core]

Yes they are

thanks pope. i did a little shock maintenance today and found an o-ring retainer partially ca'd to the bottom cap. someone musta gotten lazy at the factory and when the clips didn't hold they just ca'd the retainer it on. i woulda just left it the way it was but even the glue job was botched and only 1/4 of the retainer was glued on the remaining 3/4 was hangin' lose.

nothin' much i could to about it now except to glue a new retainer back on for the time being.

i also played with some hellfire shafts which i thought were just a wee bit too short, so i used 1cm fuel tube limiters and split the difference.

Anyone else had problems with the aluminum caps leaking? Seemed to seal up fine but after an hour of bashing on two trucks 6 out of 8 are leaking.

Fixes anyone?
