Where/how to install RE RE HS2 Carbon arm holder set?

Recommended Posts

Bought this upgrade for my Hotshot II re re build , and being new / a rookie I don't know where it goes on the build?! Lol!! Help!! I'm lost. I thought it would go in the screw pin holes as an upgrade substitute but I don't think the measurements are correct. Plus it has a carbon fibre brace which I have no clue where that goes as well. Any pictures showing them installed etc....would be awesome!!

Yep. Goes between the two screw pins for the upper arms behind the front damper.

Ok, thank you! So none of these are for the rear arms? Only for the front? I'm new to the hobby and bought a bunch of hop ups and I honestly can't remember where some go. Will attempt the installation as you guys suggested.

Oh, I only saw the brace for the upper front arms. 
 

the shafts are meant to replace the screw pins that are currently used as hinges for the suspension arms. Tho I count only 6 in the picture, so I guess not all the screw pins get replaced.

There's 8. I just already had 2 out of the package when I took the picture. What confuses me with the shorter pins is that they are too short for the back / rear suspension upper hinges. They long ones I put in the lower rear and lower front. They fit fine with maybe 2mm of space to spare.

That's strange that there is just 8 pins. 4 pins would be for the front and 8 should be in the rear. I'm not familiar with this aftermarket product, but the trend of not providing proper documentation seems to be common now.

I agree 100%!! I've even messaged different sellers asking for instructions, pictures installed etc.....

The only thing I was given is the picture shown. Hence why I'm asking anyone for help/advice/guidance to install it as a newbie to the hobby.

Are you talking where I have this aluminum brace on the upper arm hinges for regarding the carbon fibre brace?
