Anyone know what that little dodad at the bottom left is? Me and my dad were trying to figure that today.

I'm going to go with your guess is as good as mine. I have never used it or seen it before.

!!!!!!!! I have the same problem! I got all kinds of them but I can't figure out what the hey they're for! If anyone knows let us know eace:

 

[frdmrckr]

I googled it earlier, and i only found one other person who has asked this online. No one there knew what it was either. In the manual though, it is not colored in like the rest of the parts. Id say just the way they make it in manufacturing, but it looks too precise to just be extra.

Hard to tell but it looks like it may be an antenna mount ? maybe if the pic was a lil bigger it would be easier to tell......

I'm with jam on this one I always thought it was something to do with mounting the Antanana onto the roll bar pointed back towards the mill. But I never used it

I found where it mounted But i still cannot figure out what it does. It can't be for the antenna because the tube just slides right through it.

We were thinking antenna too. we were playing with it, and it fits on either side, but no where near the antenna that can be useful. My dad just got the new 4.6 and it slides right over the tube

Well, my dad convinced me to send an email to HPI, so well see if the mystery is finally solved. Stay tuned for riveting updates

ooooh the suspense is killing me... I can't wait

mystery !!!!!

Yeah was thinking the Antanana slides through it and it holds the end in place kinda how I've eabtqata mine under the roll bar before but use that piece to mount it to the side of the roll bar? Just the tip of the end going through that weird piece? Even the manual and parts list don't show where it goes or even have a name for it Lol

I know what it is now, it is a dunsel part. has no use and no one knows what it actually is.....

Well, after the suspense, this is the answer i got from HPI:

The roll bar comes 1 roll bar, 2 roll bar support and mounting hardware.

Thats it. thats all i got from the company...

 

[Jam Racing 1]

Helpful company oh well I still say is a dunsel....

 

[Upbasher]

Thats hilarious. That reminds me of Traxxas customer support. (Really bad!)

And somewhere over at HPI a customer service rep is laughing his butt off.
