Thanks to ianski and robs help my Hyper 7 .28 just keeps getting better. Had a mis-hap though. Where i rolled it a couple of times (no digs about the driving lol) the top of my front shock has worn away. Its the nylon bit that pushes onto the "shock stand off" Now i dont have standard shocks i have a set of big bore's. They are 20mm adjustables. Can anyone help with trying to source some please i cant seem to find them. I can find standard ones no problem. Here's a link to the set i have if it helps http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...on&ItemID=32823 Cheers guys.

It would seem the plastic ends of the shocks are quite exposed on buggies and prone to being scratched and, eventually, broken. Has anyone come up with a protector for them or have any ideas on how to keep them safe? Also for the benefit of others jhn, what's the part number?

I have the parts ordered so when they arrive i will just take the part number off the packaging.

Well there is a simple answer dont roll your buggy on an abrasive surface

That's about as helpful as a chocolate teapot

Seriously, any ideas?

I feel, however, that this would be counter-productive. Thanks for your input though
