Default 511 parts

Hi all. I'm struggling to get parts 3454660 and 3454661 for my 511. They are the blocks that the inner ballstud screws into on the front of the car. Mine has broken ballstuds stuck in both blocks centre holes which restricts my ability to adjust the setup. Anyone who knows of a shop with stock or who happens to have one or both lying around I'd really appreciate the help. Cheers.

No idea who has stock Brock models maybe. Also id advise getting kyosho or hot bodies balls as they are not brittle like tamiya.

Doubt anywhere will stock them, but either speedtech or rc champ will get them in quickly if you ask

Also, Tamiya hard hex head ball studs do the trick, they won't break!

Spoke to champ this morning and they're on the case. They special ordered my parts. Brilliant service. Lovin our Japanese buddies. My bodyset came in 3 days from Japan. I ordered some tyre additive from a uk shop 2 weeks ago and still no sign. Japan all the way.

The Japanese want our business, the way some shops are, you would think us customers are a burden.
