7.5 to lightning pro parts

[Mike 8 nitro]

I have a lightning pro & was told kyosho 7.5 parts will swap out. Does any body know what parts will change over for hop ups???? I want to keep from buying stuff that won't work.

[lillightingboy21]

Most of the parts work so i usually just us the 7.5 parts if something breaks.

Does this include a 3.5 mm front shock shaft for a HB Pro 2?
I also need the pivetball end on the bottom of the shock shaft.
This I can find, but the 3.5 mm shock shaft I can't. I've been checking the lhs's, Horizon, and Tower Hobbies.
Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

Didn't look too hard at Tower I guess.

Thanks I might have looked for HB only at Tower, but I can't be for sure I did it last noght, and I think I still had nitro in my brain. LOL!!!!!!!!
Doe anyone know if these will work in my HB Pro 2's front shocks?

[El Pirata]

Not sure on that one. Heck, I'd just buy the shock body while I was at it, and yes, tower DOES have them.

I did my search again and it came up with MP 7.5 shafts due in late may. I'll have to try and find out which, if any will work.
Thanks again

Personally I'd just hit your lhs about buy a new set of buggy shocks and be done with it.

[Hypedonrc]

They don't have any. WTF! I'm about to order the coplete front kit for a Kanai II from Tower. Just browsing a few other things I'v been thinking of first. I try to save a little on shipping when I can.

[1meathead]

look on ebay for them better price than Tower for sure! I use this guy for all my Kanai parts.

FEEDBACK:
I put the K2 front shocks on My Lightning Pro 2 last night.
Had to use the Lightning caps. The hole to atatch to the shock tower on the K2's were too small. I suspose they would work with the right hardware.
Bottom line-BUGGY IN BUISNESS
Now, only if it would stop raining.

My LHS doesn't have shocks either. And not too many people have opinions about shocks, I've asked around.

I would love to get a nice set of threaded shocks, with available titanium shafts, that I can use on my Storm and are of good performance. But I have no clue what shocks these might be and the guys at the LHS apparently never replace stock shocks.

I've bent three shock shafts and I want something stronger.

[dgrobe2112]

well.. get K2 shocks off ebay.. they come in 3.5mm shafts.. threaded shocks are allright.. i just dont like them.. dirt gets in the grooves.. and strips the sleeve.. and its hard to make sure you got the spacing down the same on both shocks

[cbreaker]

Those are good points about the threading. I didn't think of that.

Then what non-threaded shocks are well built with strong shafts? =)

[dgrobe2112]

Kyosho Kanai shocks.. you can get a whole set off ebey.. for all 4 shocks.. for prolly less than 100 bux.. im sure..

They come with the self bleeding cap and everything..
