[Pablo1980]

Hi, stupid fool i am i have lost the 2mm caster adjustment clip when i was doing some maintenance on my kraton EXB 6s. Is there anywhere i can buy the clips only as to get them from arrma they are in the set with the upper suspension arm which i don't need. Hopefully you guys and girls in this forum may know somewhere

All I know is they also come packaged with Most Arrma 6s hardware kits from JennysRC. If you need to replenish your Spare hardware, screws etc Consider getting them this way.
Worst case, use some 3mm Plastic or metal washers. In a pinch till you get them They do fall out or get lost sometimes.
Arrma should have included spare ones in the box. No doubt. Like they give you different size 6s Shock pistons and blank ones too, in the box. Also good to have. But many never use them. I do however.

@gprice beat me to the punch.

Buy a set of the upper Susp. Arms set for the Castor clips (spacers)
Worth having Upper arms on the side as spares. Over time they wear out also, not necessarily break. Good to have, I have broken them before. I use a mix of RPMs and Arrma's. RPM's don't come with the Castor clips FWIW.
You can also make your own shims. Like I said above, using plastic washers on the upper hinge pin before installing. ( 3 shims equaling 4mm 2x 1mm+1x 2mm=4mm. is stock setup) Push Shims eventually fall out. Wear out. Have spares or make your own. I've made them with success. Upper Hinge pin O.D. is 4mm.
Whatever works for you.

Yep i think i will buy the upper suspension arm set from arrma as like you say you cant have too many spares but also like the idea of making my own, thanks for the helpful info

Washer type captured spacers are best. Teflon ones even better. Correct sized. These are not parts that you want to remove. Push in type is easier to put on, just they wear out, get loose and Castor gets sloppy. I hate sloppy Castor. Happens when the upper arms wear out too.

I have purchase these, although you don't need 4.5 mm. A little snug but they work

Snug is good too. They loosen up after some running. Sand them down if too snug.

Corally makes sets of both the clips and solid shims in various thicknesses.
