Hi!
After breaking the top eyelet of one of the front shocks last week, I replaced the shock body and went out for a ride today breaking the shaft of the same shock. I guess there was some damage I hadn't noticed.
As you can see in the picture, the shaft broke by the tip and was left inside the bottom piece (what's the name for that one?) Do you have any tips on how to remove it? I tried putting some pressure on it with a screwdriver and different keys to unscrew it with no success.
Feeling that I won't success in my challenge my next question is: Is there an equivalent to this part (https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR330536) for the Vorteks?
I've checked the spare parts price to rebuild my shock and unless I found a Vorteks AR330536 alternative, the (kind of) cheapest option will be to get a new pair of stock shocks:
To which I'll have to add the cost of the spring anyway as I lost it (ARA330722) - 5,99 EUR
