Default Vintage Parts?

Hello to all, this is my first Post , I will introduce my self following this inquiry. I'm restoring my old cars and want to start buying vintage cars but need a source for spare parts, lets start with Kyosho. I searched the site and only find that for planes. Any suggestions. Thanks!

I would start with Ebay.. you may find someone who has a bunch or a store that may be a reliable supplier.

If you can't find them on ebay you may be in trouble. I don't know of any vintage only stores for RC currently but maybe someone around here does.

Yeah, generally, ebay is the BEST source for vintage parts for RC's. If you can't find them on ebay, you're in for a lot of hunting around with limited success. I would just be patient and monitor ebay a couple of days a week. Stuff is coming up on there all of the time, but then it'll be gone again for a while. It goes in cycles.

I would also suggest Craigslist. I have found quite a few vintage rc's on there for really cheap.

Craigs list might work well too, but you generally have to be in a metropolitan area with a LOT of people making posts on it I think. When I tried looking for stuff on their I got 0 RC stuff. I live in a more rural/suburban area though.
