Default Volcano STX - Broken Steering Arm

Hi all,

I live in brazil and just import a Volcano STX, but I just broke one of Steering Arms.
Here in brasil we dont have Red Cat Racing parts on Hobbies Stores.

Do you know if I can put a Steering Arm from traxxas?

Thank you!!!!

Just order what you need from the Redcat site or Top Speed Toys. Top Speed is always on here and I'm quite sure Mark can help you out.

I know, I could order some parts, but the problem is that take months to the parts arrive...

Tks for your answer...

There's ways around that man. If you're willing to pay a higher shipping cost you can get them in a few weeks...maybe even less. Whoever you order from just talk to them about shipping options and see what can be done.

Don't forget about your door type mounts, front hubs, rear hubs, and ofcourse gears.
