I need a dogbone for my monster truck. I ordered pn#08029 as per instruction manual. The dog bone in my truck 90mm and is thicker. The #08029 is only 87mm. Has any one ran in to this problem when ordering parts from Nitrorcx. Model#51c08 Infinity. Any ideas

The redcat product is the same as your exceed, after checking there website www.redcatracing.com the part you ordered is the right one.

Yes by Part number but the new one is 3mm shorter and thinner.

Just looked at the Nitrorcx website. The caption shows 88mm, but next to it shows 89.5mm for the item #08029. Could the .5 mm left over be taken up by the O rings? As to the thickness of the metal, maybe it was a manufacturer change?

In the cup that your dogbone set's in, look in there.....ok seee there is a little round rubber O ring, That is a O ring.

Plus you can not I repeat can NOT go by the parts book they gave you, I ran into the same thing and what they was calling for was way longer then what I needed, what I would do is go to the redcat forums and tell them what your looking for, and they will get you what you need. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/foru...smode_1/tt.htm
