I (or my uncle) has a cen fun factor mt2 and our hobby shop doesnt carry cen products he has a broken differential outdrive cup part id-ff232 and a shreded 1st gear and he wants to go ahead and buy two sets of 1st and 2nd gears, I know there is the cen direct store but is there anywhere cheaper

Tower Hobby has some CEN parts. Ebay is always good for parts. You can also modify the diff cups to make them stronger.

Here is a link that will explain the diff cup mod: [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4203289/tm.htm[/link]

well makeing them stronger would help, but its broken beyond repair and ebay doesnt have some of the parts and they want cen direct price

How about this. [link]http://www.ehobbies.com/cegff232.html[/link]

I agree with alvin. The net is the best place to get parts. Tower is good and reputable.
But if you are willing to take the risk, you can order from those fleabay chop-shops (guys who more or less illegally take a Cenchain RC, tear it down, and resell the parts).

I have so far had good luck with the fleabay chop-shops, but I don't buy from them anymore because I object to their practices. Yes, they buy the Cenchain RC legally, and it is theirs to do with what they want. But depending on their state laws, it might be illegal to resell a product they previously bought for a profit without a vendor's license and proper tax ID. I personally cannot support that, but if you choose to buy from these unauthorized chop shops, they are probably the cheapest source for Cenchain RC parts.
