Hello, I just ordered a rampage xb and i have read about axla bearing issues . could you use the MT Carriers,Axles,Axle shafts,sterring knuckles and convert over to a 12mm shaft to use the HPI hubs also would be a larger bearing.


Thanks

You would also have to use the MT upper and lower suspension arms to mount it all to.

It is much better to go with the 7075 RC products. They utilize larger bearings. Since the are machined out of 7075 aluminum, they are very strong also. I have never heard of any breaking.

Can you post a pic with the body on?

It looks like the body should still fit with some trimming.

I will post it up later. Should still fit no problem I think. My hpi adapters should be in today. I just took a v1 dominator and flipped it upside down. Gonna also try to see if I can make a gbe enabled mount up to it.
