Hi,

Anybody know if it`s possible to find this part (#13) alone somewhere?


Thank you!

ehroof

wow, i doubt it, maybe ask dennis at clermontmotorsports.com

JPtec

My Buggy slip up side down on the concrete, that`s why I only want this part...
I found this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLVW5&P=0 but duno if this 1/8 buggy parts will fit on Tornado shock.

Thanks

ehroof

i doubt it, 1/8 shocks are usually much larger

tyhodge07

for that price your prolly better off just buying 2 new ones. for a few bucks more.

ehroof

thats true too, http://www.clermontmotorsports.com/s...-shocks/Detail

tyhodge07

yea, id just buy a new set.. but i still think they need a rebuild kit for them.. maybe i should shoot redcat an email and request that.

JPtec

You are right about the rebuild kit....
Anyway I bough a new set but the shock itself is still in good working condition... except for the ball head cap. [sm=cry_smile.gif]

tyhodge07

well now ull have parts left to do rebuilds next time than

ehroof

exactly

JPtec

Answer from Clermont Hobby.: no you cant get that seperate. sorry

ehroof

you could have put some epoxy or ca on that, take it off first. then you would be ok, i have seen worse than that

JPtec

Yeah I was thinking about epoxy. Do you think it`ll hold strong enough on this kind of plastic?

What "ca" mean ?

ehroof

its a type of super glue for modeling. just dont glue or epoxy it with that on the ball, take it off and put some tape on it from the inside and use some epoxy, that would be a pretty good fix for a while.

i just got an email back from redcat, and they said ofna offers a rebuild kit that will work for the shocks.. so id check and see if you can find one than post up a link, i would but im about to leave. [8D]

tyhodge07

this looks to be about right: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCVS0&P=7
thats just the plastic parts, there is a rebuild kit, that looks to be the same parts that will fit, and also some shocks assemblies on there that look like they will fit right up to. im guessing ofna has a bunch of parts that will be compatable with the redcats, they got a large assortments of wings that will fit in different colors, and their not even drilled yet.

JPtec

Wow thanks tyhodge07 . Will try to find those parts here...

Did you email readcat at support@.... ?? didn`t received any reply from them

tyhodge07

i think i emailed them through sales.. all the email said was "ofna sells rebuilds kit" said just like that, lol

ehroof

that is for the hyper 7, its 1/8 and probably too big

tyhodge07

im not to familiar with ofna parts, theres other stuff on there like that to.. just got to look.

JPtec

I finally try epoxy but it not stick on this kind of plastic

rclynx

I haven't tried it but if you could find someone with a hot glue gun I think that would work on that plastic[&o]

JPtec

Hi,

Finally I fix the shocks with plastic weld Epoxy. I burned aprox. 8-9 fuel tanks today
without any problems except that I lost 1 dogbone, 1 screw monting shoks, bend another
dogbone and broke 1 antenna pipe... Other than that i`m happy with my tornado....

Glad to see that..........and if you stay away from obsticals and keep it upright you'll be doing fine have you been keeping O rings in behind the dog bonz to take out the play?

JPtec

Yeah u are right no problem at all today


Heuuuuu!!! no! I will take a look
