    Hi Danny,

    You could also use the Hop-up wing that was released for the Madcap, Astute, Avante and Vanquish.

    it's part number 53055: Racing 'A' Wing... (Currently on eBay for £14.95) Looks pretty cool... Check out my "showroom" as one is fitted to my restored Madcap, Andy

    Hi all,

    I'm hoping that one of you guys will have a solution for me.

    I've fully restored my 1989 vintage Madcap 58082 and taken it out for a few runs now.

    It runs great, especially with the Hop-ups and the GT-Tuned motor, but I keep breaking the C4 part - Front C-Hub

    (not the steering arm, which is now upgraded to carbon reinforced)

    I know its 26 years old buggy and not up to todays quality standards, but its so annoying as this is the 2nd time now in a month (and sourcing new C4 parts is getting harder)

    I know newer models have alloy parts from GMP, Yeah Racing etc.

    Is there an alloy part that will fit my buggy Tamiya or otherwise?... or am I destined to spend £££ on 3D printing an alloy version.

    Photo attached

    Thanks
