Does anyone know where to get hold of some split pins (roll pins?) to replace the standard solid bar on the DB01/501X?
After losing a wheel hex last weekend I'd like to fit the other pins instead, unfortunately the losi/AE split pins seem a little too small.
Any ideas?

Get some thread retainer (not thread lock), it cures to a thick, sticky gunk that will hold the pins in place but still allow you to remove them if necessary.

Or.....nail polish ;)

Does the same as above, but adds a touch of colour to your ride lol

Do you have to reapply that every time you remove a pin?

I probably would, but then I have an unhealthy interest in nail polish lol

Shoe goo would work on them pete, or maybe some hot bodies/hpi wheel pins(solid too). Think i ran them in my 501. Also search mx websites as stuff called Grip Glue works well made by Renthal for sticking handlebar grips on.
