Default hb tornado

hey everyone. i drivew a yok gt-4, but got my wife a hb tornado. i must say it is a really great car for the money. can't be beat. she broke the left front hub carrier the other day, and i would like to replace it with aluminum. however i can't find anyone that makes 1 for her car. could i use one made for another car? some others look ver similiar. will they work? for now i ca'd it together and it has been holding up. thx for some help

This is for the RS4 3 but it might fit as some of the hot bodies parts are identicle to the HPI.

Hpis will not fit. Try a kyosho vones or voner knuckle. Its still a new car, gotta wait till more parts are out for it...

yeah it is new...kinda sux for parts that way, but it is a really good car. can almost keep up with my yok. i did look at the one for the vone. they look close. just may have to crank the turnbuckles a little, but i think they will fit. i tried to ask my lhs but hey don't know crap. also checked with some online shops and got no response. i think i'm just gonna have to wait. the ca seems to be holdin it pretty good for now.

I have the VoneS and my brother has the Tornado. I work on his car, so I know more about it than him. I will try to fit one in tomorrow, I'll let you know. If it fit, I'll give you a part number and you can order the part from tower or something. Kyosho parts are stronger than a few other.

I don't recommend using aluminum knuckle. You can if you want, but from time, it will tweak, throwing off your setting because it's unnoticeable.
