hey all first of all thanks for anythign you might beabel to help me on with this.
Also yes i am a total Noob when it comes to Nitro powerd R.C. So any help for this car would be great.
I got this as a starter car for me to learn the basics so i wanted a cheap one to do it with .
i bought a funfactor buggie it says BG2 on it.
Im tryign to find some parts for it. the front wheel is not on the car. when the guy pulled it off for cleaning he lost the axel pin.
the actual threaded part that you would put the nut on to hold the front wheel in place. the hub it's self is in good shape and dont need to be replaced.
Also would like to find out more information on these cars as i own one and would liek to make it in to the monster truck version. I have heard you can do it rather easily. Is this true?
Can any one tell me anything on this.
thought i was gettign a pretty decent deal on it. paid 40.00 euro for it and another one (not a cen) with no radio. I wanted one as a static model for on raod so it worked out pretty good on that part.
But would like to find out where to get parts for the CEN and also what radio would work best with them?
I noticed it is a AM in stead of the normal Fm i have seen.
Thanks for any help you can give.

I know next to nothing about radios Im afraid, but for parts - this link should be all you need to find a part number: http://www.toyhaus.com/ff4wdbg.html
Once you know the part number, try running a search for it on Google. Thats what most of us here do until we have found a good supplier or two that we stick with. I think you can also order direct from the link above by clicking on the relevant number, but I havent used Toyhaus personally, so Im not too sure.
Hope that helps somewhat though. Good luck.
Edit - I just realised I posted a link for the 4wd version, if your is the 2wd, then this is the link you want - http://www.toyhaus.com/ff2wdbg.html

If you are wanting to convert to the monster truck it is a very simple thing to do with the Fun Factor. I originally bought the Cen ATX Fun Factor and converted to a monster truck. The only real changes you need to make is to change your tires, pinion gears, body, and body mounts. I had 15/19T pinions on the ATX, and now I have 11/14T pinion gears. Hope this helps you.
Oh and as far as a radio I would recommend the [link=http://www.killerhobbies.com/items/Radios+and+Receivers/spektrum-dx2-0-dsm-2-channel-radio-w-1-z270-sx-1-z590m-sx-spm20200-spm20200-detail.htm]Spektrum DX2 DSM[/link]

To be totally honest with you if you want a monster truck then buy something else...these Cen vehicles handle small wheels and tyres a LOT BETTER than they handle big ones due to thier puny axles etc, the diffs seem to hold up ok but the dogbones bend and break, as with the cvds. I have broken a fair share of wheel axles as well. I think they have improved the diff cups somewhat, but whats the point really if the other stuff is still bad...
Maybe if you dont bash it too hard and go easy on the BIG AIR you will be ok tho...
try [link=http://www.customrccars.com]customrccars[/link] for parts.
