Default What VMG hop-ups are available?

I have seen a special axle set before, what's special about it?

What else is available?

I already have the bearings and shocks, as well as custom battery and a couple other custom items, but I am hoping to find some aluminum parts or something to make it stronger or better looking...

That's exactly the kind of thing I am looking for. Are those on RC Mart? I went to that site, but it was very hard to navigate.

I looked all through the Leo-x hop-ups but I cannot find those steering hubs in the list. The link to them works, but they aren't on the list. How did you find them? It makes me wonder what else isn't showing up...

I am ready to order, but I want to be sure I have everything I want in one order.

Hey guys, what's all the fuzz about those hardened driveshafts, for a little recreational crawling you'll only need to keep the slipperclutch (gives a clear indication when it's safer to back up). Alu knuckles on the other hand are a real asset. That's the next agenda point on my milling course. I'll finally finished my mini, I'll make some clear shots at daylight tomorrow

I just ordered a set of the knuckles, as well as a couple other small items. Can't wait to get them! I'll have forgotten I ordered them by the time they finally get here!

Schumacher is now distributing VMG parts in the US. They have the special axle kit and other things. Might try their site. (racing-cars.com)

Thanks, I will.

Dinball just emailed me and told me that the aluminum hubs are on backorder, don't expect any until Jan-Feb. That sucks, I already paid and everything! Oh well, hopefully they'll at least ship what they can.
