Every part number is at the back of your manual.

As Fab says it's all in the manual, look at the exploded drawing. If you don't have a manual then it can be downloads from the Kyosho America site in the "support" section.

Shock bottoms I very much doubt he'll have them in stock, AFAIK they're not yet avalable in europe. I broke one and had to replace with the ones for the RB5, which really are pretty much the same in a different material.

Either way the shafts aren't a weak point in the kyosho cars I'd be surprised if you ever bent one.

completly broke the shock shaft at the bottom which is why i am after some.

I dont even know how it happened. I came off a jump drove round the track a bit and someone noticed my spring was missing.

On further inspect the shock shaft had snaped at the top of the thread.

So if anyone know anyone with some plastic parts that would be great as i need them for the BCL and Mid west regionals.

This is the first time this has ever happened to me with a kyosho car i had an RB5 and never had a problem with the shocks. Must have just been a weak one.

Hmm this is worrying. There's also a guy on RC Tech that has broken a wheel axle.

Could it be a bad batch of steel on the FS kits ?
