Hey what's going on guys. I am BRAND new at nitro cars. I used to have ano electric brushless stampede 4x4 and loved it but I sold it a few years back.. I got handed a HPI Rush free!! But it needs a complete rebuild..right now if I do the motor it will be runable. I need all suspension parts but the shocks. Where can I get parts for this thing I know it's old and discontinued but there has to be somewhere! I'm from the United States if that helps!

i cant really help you with the parts but the rebuild is super easy as far as a motor rebuild goes. Look up a vid on you tube (most nitros are the same just slightly different so the process is the same across the board). It takes less than 20 minutes even for a total newby. Just make sure you have a good light and a clean place to work. I would recommend going over the carb with a fine tooth comb and if it looks wrong or too dirty to clean then replace it as a bad carb will piss you off. When you say suspension parts that aren't shocks, are you talking about shock towers? Shocks pretty much are the suspension so i'm kinda confused about that question.

Sorry about being confusing lol. I think I'm going to go with a whole new motor.. I see that t3.0 are direct bolt in. My crankshaft is broken.. Lol. I meant steering I was extremely tired almost everything is bent so it needs just about everything. I think these trucks are pretty cool and I like tinkering so here I am. BUT anyway the t3.0 are direct bolt in right? I can used the same exhaust and clutch too?

oh ya if the c-shaft is broken then a whole motor would prolly be best. I'm not sure if that is a drop in or not, but if you measure carefully then you should be fine. exhaust will likely fit but the clutch may not (they are very dependent on the output shaft dimensions as well as how much spring tension it has so that it engages at the proper rpm). Unfortunately finding replacements for the bent parts will likely be a fleabay endeavor because of the age, but you may get lucky and find a few parts manufacturers that still service a few parts from it. If possible replace bent metal with tough plastic as this will lessen the likelihood of replacing them again (i know plastic seems counter intuitive but flex is better than not) . With this hobby you just have to measure as much as possible and buy from companies that have easy return policies so if something doesn't fit your just out the time and hassle rather than the money.
