They came with my HSP Bronto. They were is a separate package, with no hint as to what they were for.
They do not seem to show i the parts list. Everything _seemed_ fine without them!
Thanks for any help.

Those are the preload spacers that go in your shocks. They stiffen up the shocks and they will also raise the ride height if it has any droop

Ahhh! Thank you! Excellent. If they can raise the ride height, that's good, around here.
This forum is very very good. Just for this I wish I had bought Himoto, but not easy to get in Oz, afaics.

OK. thanks for that.
Only trouble is, unless I use the big ones for the back and the thin ones for the front, I only have half the number I need, My truck has double shocks front and rear

contact the dealer you purchased it from...they should be able to get you some...or you can visit your local hobby shop (if you have one)....they might be able to hook you up with some for a different rc ...I think alot of the times the shocks are close to the same diameter

BTW. Like the look of those tyres on your beastie.
Are they for specialised use? They look grippy. I have gravel and need all the grip I can get to get away from my dog
I am training her, but she starts going ape if I just pick up the model and the steering servo makes a noise. She's already pulled the tyres off a Radio Shack one I have. I was hoping this could get away, but she does not give it a chance. If it moves, bite it. It really is funny to watch, but I need to get used to the speed and feel of this truck before I can try to avoid her without crashing. [

they are just cheap bashing tires..the work well but i wouldnt try to race with them..I have some more aggressive ones also....but pretty much those are simular to racing tires...racing tires are just made of a softer compound which means they wear out fast...these are hard compound and last a long time..perfect for bashing

OK. The _tread_ looks grippy. I suppose harder tyres would not hurt up here. The ground is pretty tough. I need to experiment.
I think bashing would describe what I am doing, quite well!
