Hey, since I've read thru some of the forums,and know some of you guys are nuts on the lil Hustler - where do you buy the tension springs for the brushes? Looks like the brushes are standard slugs, but the peg-mounted springs on the Hustler chassis aren't like anything else I've seen. They're thicker diameter, and I've found no reference to them on any Athearn parts sites. I need to replace a few that are missing, I lost a brush slug taking one apart, one had the spring unwound for some reason, maybe to loosen tension? Anyway, any parts leads for the Hustler would be appreciated .
