RE: HPI Mini Recon

Yes, but I had to scrape 0.8mm off the bearing housing on the lower diff casing, the MIP diff was too wide. The top cover on the Recon was 0.8mm wider than the bottom one, so it was perfect.

RE: HPI Mini Recon

Thanks.

Is it bad that they bottom out sooner than stock? I would think it's better if they can take a bigger drop? I'd like the best shocks possible :)

RE: HPI Mini Recon

Bummer, sorry it's broken!

Where are you getting parts for it? I can't find spares anywhere but just use parts (or upgrades!) from a different car like RC18, Mini T, Propulse etc.
