A few friends and I need some metal gears for this car. Do you have some? We are running brushless and the gears are having a hard time handling it. I''ve seen pictures of them, but no one has them. Also, where do I find parts on your website for this car?

Thanks.

spare parts will be available soon and will keep you posted.

which kind of problem do you have on the gear when using brushless motor? selecting a correct brushless motor is very crucial.

Thanks

I have broken the Drive gear with a brushed VR3 for the vendatta.

Are there any parts available for these? Looking for spur gears.

email4walker

Not yet. I'm waiting too.

Guys Check you PMs.

Do you have more parts like the drive gear? Any metal gears? Any aluminum parts?

nitrorcx.com will have spare parts for these models soon. Sorry these models are new to our product line.

Yeah, I checked with your company, you do not carry the parts I needed. Too bad, I prefer to deal with Tx businesses when ever posible. I finally broke down and ordered from Exportpro and paid their high shipping. Perhaps in the future you will carry parts for the 1/16 scale electrics and we can do business. Thanks

If you ever get spare parts for these 1/16th EP vehicles, there will be an instant source of buyers. Please post on the [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6883283/tm.htm]Wind Hobby Ferret thread[/link] and let us know. We will greatly appreciate it. Also, if you plan on developing any new part for these cars the Ferret thread has a TON of helpful feedback. If I had to suggest only one improvement, it would be some sort of slipper clutch. I took mine to the track with a brushless setup in it and it stripped the drive gear in just a few laps. With out the drive train damping, there's just no chance of it being competitive.

The 16th scale doesn't not come with metal gear just like the 1/0th scale. One side of the gear must be softer than the other so that the electronics does not get damage in event of a crash.

Has anybody had any problems recieving these cars with missing parts or not working at all? I just got one in the mail yesterday and it was missing parts and the front diff grinds and locks up when you turn by hand.

yadac123

can you be specific on what part is missing? can you please make sure the lock up is at the front diff by spinning both front wheels. what's your order number?

Andy,
My order #yhst-14197398381157-17567, the parts that are missing are: the three screwa that go into the motor mount from the bottom of the chassis,and the one screw that goes into the top of the motor mount through the brace. The binding in the front differential happens when both front wheels are rolled in the same direction, it does not happen when the front wheels are rolled in opposite directions. I hope that are the answers you needed from me.
Thanks
Dean

Andy,
I told you wrong on the diff binding..... It binds when the front wheels are rolled in opposite direction of each other, no binding when rolled the same way.

yadac123

ok I've got your PM so I'll take care of you.

Andy

OK................ I rigged up a brushless set up for my buggy and this thing is WILD!!! I love this little buggy. It is easy to work on, the perfect size for my back yard track and now it is FAST!!!!!
I will be buying a couple more of these little guys. I have the nitro version too and I have been in the R/C scene for over 25 years and I am giving up on the little nitro engine in it. I cant tune that thing to keep it running no matter what I do. Oh well.[]
The electrics are a blast though.
