|  Fix for rear axle shaft slop
Not sure Vanquish will send me any parts since I purchased my Pro kit from a member here, what is the solution to correct the slop in the rear ended that causes the hex pins to run against the lock outs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The fix is some axle spacers.  I'm sure Vanquish would send them if you email support, they asked me for the serial number of the kit and the address where to send the parts. If the previous owner never requested the shims, I don't see why you couldn't get them. |

Good to know. Thanks! I sent an email to them last night before posing this but wanted the feedback from this community as well in case this is something that is a simple fix. It would be awesome if they helped me out but I wouldn’t be upset in the least if they didn’t. I may have some spacers in my parts bin to quickly take care of this myself.

Michael fromVP responded this morning and asked for my address and serial number. Got a following up email minutes after sending him the requested info with a tracking number! VP kicks some serious ass in the customer service department! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Fix for rear axle shaft slop
Got impatient and managed to find some old bushings that I replaced with bearings while building a Slash drag car. I had to file them down a bit to fit but they worked out! Before and after   Fitment   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
