Redcat earthquake 4x4 3.5 monster truck. I broke what they refer to as the servo saver complete kit but really I broke thesteering linkageand thats all that broke but you have to buy this is a complete set from Redcat Which is ok but the shipping is more than the part which is why I prefer local. It will be quicker and shipping more reasonable. URCHOBBYhas it in stainless which I prefer but its out of stock.

RE: Does anyone stockREDCAT PARTS near Connecticut
I've received a shipment this week from URC Hobby and shipping price was reasonable and only took 3 days to South Carolina. I have 3 Earthquakes new to my stable (santa to me and my two sons) and noticed on 2 of them that the servoc saver was originally very stiff. Found that if the 2 center screws on the top plate that captures the servo saver and linkage are too tigh it will put a serious bind on the unit and add undue stress. 2 of mine were so tight that the servo would only turn the wheels about half of their intended travel. Put a drop of blue loctitie on them and then just snug them up and the steering turns Sooooo much better. I've ordered about $100 in misc. spare parts because I too don't have anyone local that stocks Earthquake parts. Found the steering arms are pretty weak already (replaced 2 since Christmas).

I just ordered the steeriong linkage in stainless hoping to avoid that part breaking again. Thanks for the heads up. What parts did you buy to keep on hand? I am new to RC. Luckily URC is the next state over so I can have my stuff in a couple of days also.

RE: Does anyone stockREDCAT PARTS near Connecticut
I ordered many of the critical screws as they aren't readily found at your local Lowes. Also i ordered, clutch shoes and bell, 43T spur gear, steering arms, front and rear shock towers, lower front suspension arms, M4 wheel nuts, axels, and both the steering and throttle linkage kits because the small round collars that retain the linkages are very small and I figured easily bumped off the work bench and easily lost.
The steering arms are starting to become a problem as we snapped a third since Christmas today just from rolling the truck in the grass.
Bet that Quake is a blast in a light snow!!
