For original tires check ebay or your LHS for aftermarket ones. By "bulb" do you mean the primer bulb on the carb?

Your best bet would to be just upgrade the whole carb itself, Very difficult to get just the bulb. Pick up a Walbro carb or something simular. They work great. I have an extra one here I think.

Nice buggy there, ever think of selling it let me know

Carb around $20-35
Tires $30-$50

The shocks are oil filled. I don't know of any monster truck shocks that bolt right up. But I imagine there are some somewheres. Get some used Savage ones or something the same size.

You need to call him! Email gets slow results. Usually weekends are good to call or evenings around 5pm west coast. I just saw these, keep an eye on them. [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34063&item=5981179976&rd=1]link to auction[/link]

I recently inherited a raco jr and found this thread, this is great. My car needs some work before it will run, I think my servos are fried and I might need a new radio. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm looking for JackRabbit parts, and and all. I really need a mod pipe, shocks and I'd love to get a set of aluminum trailing arms. Need rear tires/wheels to.

Any help would be great...

Welcome to jacrabbits! New cages are rare. Keep an eye on ebay. Where is your broken at? A man named Wolfgang bought all the last rabbit parts. He still has some available at www.raco.co.at . One of the cool things about jacrabbits are their big and strong with a simplistic design. This means your local hardware store and some clever thinkin can fix just about anything with it. Let me know if you need any help in particular...PB

Here is an update on the Jack Rabbit project. I installed the new radio / receiver and the stearing still did not work. I found out I had one bad servo. It was set up for two with a y-cable. I am going to try it with just one. I just fabricated a horn but don't have it working yet.


Will it work?
