there is Himoto, Hsp, exceed, and some other brands that have the same cars and the parts will fit... it also depends on what parts you need? what do you need?

i did some looking around here and found out the front dog bones are 84mm. (they keep popping out, found the post on the small tubing to cure this) i need the rear dog bones, they are bent, dont know why. its run on pretty level ground. gets maybe 3-4 inches of air. i converted it from pull start to electric start and i need the one way bearing for the starter plate. im looking at all about fun hobbies right now. hopefully they have the parts instock. i can see this is going to be a very useful site.

This is actually a search link for the OWB, but the one at the top(6267) will work great for the pull start on the VX engines. It's actually the OWB for the 2 speed trans, the up side to it is that if you need to replace JUST the bearing you can press that bearing out of the hex and replace it with just the bearing.

As far as the rear dog bones, you should be able to use 8029 or 8059 they are both 83mm which is more than likely what you have in your rears.

instead of the fuel line, we've found that the O-rings(2078) for the transmission work better, no guess work, lol, you put one in each drive cup and that's it, no need to guess on how thick to make the piece of fuel line and you should have some extras left over.

08059 is actually about 2 mm longer than 08029. They work better.
