I sounded mad?

Sorry about that! I wasn't mad at all. Just goes to show how sometimes text can be totally misinterpreted! I'm never "mad" really!
No, I had remembered once when removing my shocks from my ERBE, that one of the long screws that screw down thru the top of the mount, never seemed to "bite" and come to a noticable stop. I had forgotten that I simply changed to a longer screw! So, when I posted that, I had forgotten that I did that, wondered if the pivot of a rear end lid slap might pull the mount from the chassis, but yer right, that's not going to happen.
Good call on the pivot ball popping out or the shaft snapping.
My frustration in finding the right length shaft was true though. I could have swore that i had some P2 Pushrods, but these aren't I guess. I thought I had them with me today, but they must be at home or else I'd look to see what mm is printed on them. That's why I was asking for the length, so I didn't have to go to Traxxas to look up what length the P2 rods are. But I will do that, so no need to worry about it.
Thanks!
