Hey guys,

I really need your help here. I snapped a rear axle and am having a hell of a time trying to find another one. I thought I had one but it ended up being a set for a Grasshopper and those are not compatible due to a different over all differential set up.



I called Radio Shack Corp office and spoke to the parts department. They DO still have a few parts available for the GA but unfortunately NOT the axles. Traxxas The Cat/Spirit/Tom Cat all use the same exact axles as the GA part # 1246 but Traxxas doesn't have them in stock. Traxxas hasn't discontinued them yet but doubts they will be making any more. I would assume there are other models out there that use the same ones as the GA such as Nikko Rhino or maybe even the Sears Super Lobo but again I cant find any.



If ANYbody has a parts car or an axle lying around PLEASE let me know. I really want to get this back up and running.

Hey Dust,
Yeah as a matter of fact this GA originally has that gear box on it when I bought it but when I swapped out to a brushless and lipo that gear box blew up like no ones business. Believe it or not the GA gear box design is MUCH more stout then the Tamiya counterpart. The body of the box itself is gusseted in more places and the plastic is a little thicker. Also the stock spider gears in the GA are metal vs plastic in the Tamiya. The other thing is the GA gear set has less moving parts therefore less to fail.

On an UP side, I just got off the phone with one of my local HS and they have the traxxas part 1246 in stock!!!! original price of 4.50 all day long baby!!!

I kind of remember those. But from what I remember they are much slower then the GA.

Hey Guys
Ihave a Red Arrow buggy that Iwould like to get going again for my 8 year old son. Ineed some rims and tires for it and they are proving almost impossible to find. Where do you guys get parts for your machines?
Ilove this car and still works great despite being almost 25 years old. This will make a great car for my son to start on.
Any info will help.
Thanks Guys
Steve

I got my Golden Arrow new wheels and tires on ebay by searching for "Tamiya Hornet".
Not sure about the RedArrow but if the spindle is the same then it will fit.
Or take it to a hobby shop and they'll get something on it.

Shalverson

Thanks, I'll check it out.

If you need a different angle just ask...

Ah, it feels good to see one of the first RC's I started with. Back in the day they were pretty fast for a toy grade R/C,

I had a golden arrow but it died and i threw it away, does the radioshack sagitta count? same chassis different body, i have 2 of those

forgot to mention, one sagitta is completely stock and the other has a traxxas velineon setup in it and the bushings replaced with bearings

I had a Radio Shack Golden Arrow when i was about 14, 20 years ago. Been hunting for one lately but seem to missing out on the auctions. Did, however, get my hands on a Sagitta which is getting delivered from Virginia to Northern Ireland in the next few weeks. Does anyone have access to the specifications of the Golden Arrow and the Sagitta? please....

so cool didnt think they had a thread for this does anyone know if the gears for a nikko f10/rhino will fit my golden arrow my gears ar gone and i heard this might work and help lease to put life back into my buggy

Sean54321

you'd likely have better luck with parts for a traxxas cat, they were identical cars save for a few detail differences and the fact you purchased your own electronics for the cat

Hey everyone.

This thread makes me glad I never threw out my Red Arrow.

I just dug it out of a corner a couple days ago.

Its steering servo is destroyed and the rear tires have collapsed where it was sitting. I also have no batteries for it, but its complete otherwise.

I'm sure people will like this since I had it handy (Radio Shack, 1992, pg 161):
