Default Hot Bodies Lightning ST pro parts?

Heya, I just recently got a HB Lightning from the market and put it togheter, but I was wondering what other models use similar compatible parts I can use, there's not many parts for it out there, even on ebay, can't find any bone axles for the wheels, nor many misc items like pins and stuff. Also, anybody know how to make them sit a little higher? It seems so low to the ground. Here's some pictures of it done, I use 15t on 3s mostly to test it, and on 6s

It will be tough to find part for her..I have a Hot bodies Lightning 2 pro buggy, and the Sport too. I bought up all things Lightning for them. but It will soon be time to retire it. just because of the parts issus. I still race it. Super tough buggy.. never replaced a diff... never had too...I hate the day i get rid of it...Sorry if i wasn't much help.

That's a bummer, there's some good parts on ebay, amain and tower, but not nearly as much as I'd want. And isn't the GT10 1/10 scale? This is 1/8. Anyway, is there anyway I can make the car have a taller stance?

Bro, when you buy a car that's been discontinued for several years, parts support dries up...your best bet will be eBay.

HPI Trophy Flux is a basically a Lighting 2 Truggy Should be almost 100% compatible. They make Electric/Nitro version of the Truggy/Buggy. Tower shows them on order right now.
