Those are notoriously hard to find, dude. I remember Rob said Redcat was going to bring them in, but I haven't seen anything yet. You could try some nylon flange bushings from the hardware store.

Yep, sucks.

My XT came missing one of them, causing lots of play on the steering post. Had to make a ring out of a glue tube cap. But I think it will not last that much.

Should've contacted Redcat, dude. They might've sent you a set.
 
ya rob if you ever get them let me know like I said the only ones I found are the ones that come with the knuckles wich I orderd so I could get the spacers but I would rather spend 14 dollars on a bunch of spacers then the knuckles and only get 4 spacers

To Brazil? That would take a month, so I had to find a faster solution :)

Anyway, contacted them before about one of my front shock shafts (weirdly longer than the other, but shorter than ones on the back) and they asked me to send the shocks in advance for them to analyze. I know that's the normal procedure, but it's an useless solution for anyone living overseas.

But thanks for the tip, I will ask them for a set, just to see what happens :)

Yeah, my MT came with mismatched shock shafts. Pretty funny.

I understand. Waiting is not worth a free part.

Don't get me wrong, but would you let your only truck sat for about two months waiting for a pair of shock shafts, 'cause Redcat wants me to send the entire shocks for analysis? It would be OK for people living on the US, but not for me.

If they had asked me for a bunch of pics showing the issue, I would be more than happy to disassemble everything to show them.

Going even further, it would be my pleasure to send the shocks and wait for them to come back fixed, helping Redcat to work future issues, IF I could buy a new pair here for immediate use.

Same case with the spacers, I had to build a solution to get the truck running. I was willing to wait for these parts to be available sooner or later for purchase, I hadn't even thought to ask Redcat for a free replacement before you suggested that :)

Mine have a 6mm difference, and they said that there are 2 shock shafts sizes on their trucks, and the difference is much bigger than 6mm.

The real funny part is that they have no idea of what happened, as the cars came assembled from China, and on their words, "we haven't taken very many of these shocks apart". Time to start checking, I think ;)
