I have just picked up a petrol/nitro RC car and I literally don't know anything about it...I don't know what model it is or anything like that; all I know is that it is a HPI because it says it on the exhaust. And what makes it even harder is that it doesn't have a shell, so I can't really search it and find the exact one on google either. All I know is that it's supposed to be a 4x4 and it has big off-road wheels on it.
My problem is that it needs a couple of parts, and one of the main parts it needs is dog bones. It has the rear dog bones so it is currently RWD only, but I need the centre and both front dog bones (needs 3 altogether) to make it AWD again. I just can't find them for sale anywhere! I can find the rear ones easily on ebay, ect. Very expensive, but I can find them. I did manage to find 1 centre one but it was very, very expensive for a little bit of metal. And as for the front ones, I haven't been able to find them at all. The rear ones are around 92mm from one end to the other, and the centre one looks like it's roughly the same length (can't test fit it without taking the whole front end apart to install it), however the front ones need to be bigger as the 92mm ones just fall out because they're slightly too small. I have tried searching for slightly bigger sizes like 95mm, ect, but all I can find is 100mm ones from China! I can order them but they're going to take a long time to arrive, probably won't be very good quality, and 100m might me too big. So the question is, does anybody know where I can get the right length dog bones for a decent price?
