I need some dogbones!
Hey guys,
Who has some dogbones in stock for a smartech bigfoot?
I can't find the duratrax bones in stock anywhere.
This sucks! Parts are getting harder and harder to find for these things unless you want to pay $40.00 shipping from Germany for a $2.00 part.
Seems like every time I run a tank in this thing I break something.

RE: I need some dogbones!
The Firehammer MT dogbones will work. Tower is *usually* very good at keeping standard parts on hand. It took a few months after the Firehammer buggy was introduced for all the parts to be on-hand at Tower.
As said above the XTM Grizzly truck is identical to the Duratrax MT and Smartech truck (Smartech makes all three). HobbyPeople.com sells XTM Grizzly parts. Beware though I have seen XTM parts at HobbyPeople cost more than Firehammer parts on Tower Hobbies. I have ordered XTM parts a few times when it was something inexpensive or I had to have it right away.
What happened to your dogbone?

I have upgraded my engine to a 28.5 cc and upgraded the diff to metal case so now the dogbones can't handle the power.
