    Interesting to hear the VQS Hi-Caps didn’t fit

    They have to compress so much to fit that the springs have way to much preload. I even tried with different lower spring retainers but I didn't have any other bigger bore springs to really sort it. The overall length you can reduce with internal spacers, but you really need shorter springs too. I'm looking at the manual and wondering if they may work with the other shock mounts... 🤔

    Can you guys fit Billy in there?

    Reckon you could. I'm using a Hobbywing 10BL60 that sits on the servo and is to high for a driver. I could tuck a Hobbywing 1060 behind the servo (low profile) and the receiver stuck to the chassis side. Would look cool with Billy in there.

    Finished the Terra Scorcher. Had planned to use VQS HiCaps but they simply don't fit correctly so mugged my DT-03 for its black CVA's. I've never liked the yellow CVA's but will use them for my Lunchbox plus the DT-03 has had bit of a shock upgrade! Had planned to get a Thundershot shell but I really like how it came out so will leave for now.

    I have a Super Hotshot. It's pretty standard but I run it on 8.4v Nimh with the supplied motor. It's been bullet proof and I'd not change anything on the transmission side. Only mod I've done is to replace the shocks to shorter bodied CVA'S (so that the chassis bottomed out on the front) and put gold DF3 springs on with thicker oil (500w).

    So i will not buy a kit with anything Pre- in it ...

    Completely get your point, it would just be nice not to have to cut out some of the more complicated shapes. I'm more than happy to paint and cut out bodies (would much rather do it myself even if at the time I'm wishing it was already done!) but cutting out the stickers seems a bit archaic now!
