Captured hinge pins?

[yellowdatsun]

Has anyone found a set of captured hinge pins that fit the outer hings pins on an RC10? Even with e-clips, one of mine fell off 3 times. I need a more permanent solution.

Yeh, they came up when searching google. I want a solution that does NOT include C clips.

What I have found is that the captured pins made for the Slash fit the front outsides of the RC10, They're a little long, but dont hit anything.

Have you tried shock shafts? same size but you nut the threaded end ...there is a thread somewhere on it or maybe it was mentioned in one of the threads above but its out there somewhere...

There was such solution in the second thread. It also reduces some play:

For a runner I would use a set screw in the mount. Grind a bit of the hinge pin where the set screw hits and never worry about it.
