I'm thinking about getting it, but not quite sure if it'll have all of the screws I need (I know it's a 450 piece set, but better safe than sorry). Also, off topic, I read some where that some of you guys are using lower baja vvc assemblies, I was going to get some but I want to make sure I'm getting the right ones. Here's the link:

That is the 6 mm shaft shock kit. Most keep using that kit.


I Would Not . Get the ready to run Phat Dad upgrade kit from Innovative or DDM . Bigger is not better in this case because those high paid engineers from HPI made a press on ,not replacable, plastic shock end . So when it breaks you get the throw the whole shaft away and get a new pair.

My experience is with stock 4mm, redcat 5mm, and HPI complete front shocks X4 (not just the bottoms). I have never broken any shock shafts on my ramps but I now have the stock 5mm shaft kits at all 4 corners. They are pretty cheap. I have broken the plastic ends of HPI shafts on my 5b/5t and they were $19 for 2 shafts at the local hobby store. :mad: Im sticking with redcat 5mm becuase parts are cheap enough to buy spares and they have a screw on end.
 
the 450 piece screw set does not have what it takes to do a whole ramp but it does come in handy. i bought one and also one for the ramp so i'm covered for most of all my other cars also, and at the price of replacement hpi 6mm shock shafts i'll run them all the time, i have only broke one end and that was because i hit a fence stake at diggers dungeon, since then alot of hard bashin and no breakage, so i guess it's all on what you want to run and how we all drive, i myself still love big air, learn by trial and error,lol.
