Going from long travel kit to P2 rockers

[miniGranis]

I cant find any pushrod from the exploded views and buytraxxas.com that says it works with the P2 rockers.

Do I need to change the pushrods when going from LT rockers to P2 ones ?
If going for a standard Traxxas pushrod what partno shall I order ?

You use the same pushrods, but need the little spacers: http://www.buytraxxas.com/product_in...oducts_id=2131

Thanks Brian.
Any ideas on where I should put the spacers :-/

you take the ends off the push rods... and put the spacer on the threaded part, then put the ends back on.

i've been using the P2 for years... good setup.

I kinda wish they made properly sized rods for P1/P2 though. Adding the spacers reduces the amount of thread that goes into the ends.

honestly, though, i haven't had any problems with the spacers. i was worried at first, but i haven't had a failure. *knock on wood*...

lol, yeah, but those are kinda pricey. I guess I should have said "I kinda wish Traxxas made properly sized rods for P1/P2 though". $44+ for a set seems a bit steep when stockers can be had from an eBay chopshop for less than a third that price.
