Default Problem with HB Race shocks

HB's cheaped out and didn;t include any shock spacers!

I tried removing them from my stock shocks and it was nearly impossible i bent one of my stock shocks trying to remove it and it ended up breaking off inside the stock shock!

Anyon have the part number to order stock savage shock spacers? I think the whole kit would work fine, much better thn fuel tubing and washers

how do shock spacers end up inside your shock?? you can always pick up t-maxx shock spacers, they are a little bigger, but stay in very nicly..... here use these..

are you talking about the black inserts in the stock shocks? well the threaded shock bodies comes with something that looks like fuel tubing, but black.. and thats what they used in their other sets.... e-mail them or call them and complain, i am sure they will send you some stuff....

I don't have the threaded ones so i don;t know about those. But the stock inserts seem to work fine with the race shocks. I want to sue the stock inserts that the shock pivots on only in my race shocks instead, the fuel tubing is tight around the bolt and to me it just sucks.

it does suck... but i think those inserts in the stock shocks are near imposibble to get out...

maybe try sending HPI an e-mail and ask them for some or where you can get a hold of some.

I had to order them hopefully they will be in next week.

Now I can't run this weekend unless I can come up with something, too bad I broke a stock shock or I would just put the stockers back on for now.

REALLY pisses me off HB didn't include these with there shocks, nor do they tell you that you will bneed them untill you have opened the package. If I woulda known I caould have ordered some earlier!
