landslide parts
I just bought a landslide and thanks to this forum I was able to get it up and running without any problems.If you go through the truck first and understand how everything works it will save you alot of grief.Just wondering what spare parts I should keep on hand.I've even debated buying another truck just for parts.Any ideas?

RE: landslide parts
The aluminum suspension arms seem like a good idea but if they won't break I guess something else will.They are also very pricy.

RE: landslide parts
have extra spur gears for sure, yes if you have it meshed correctly it will be just fine, but these things strip on ALL vehicle eventually, wether it's a big hit, or just natural wear and tear

RE: landslide parts
here are some things that happened to me so far.
my brake disc stripped in the center within the first 5 minutes on a cement driveway.
broke one of the pivot rods within the first 7 minutes for the front lower suspension and had to make a fix...no brakes sucks...
broke the one-way bearing in the trans (plastic cage broke - awaiting the upgraded bearing that should arrive tomorrow). i was still able to drive the truck by removing the 2nd gear clutch, and soldering the one-way bearing to the shaft after removing all the plastic. worked for a couple of tanks worth of fuel anyhow...
pull starter doesn't grab sometimes.
burned up a couple of glow plugs.
it's been a fun experience so far. i'm really diggin how these little nitro motors run.

RE: landslide parts
Sounds like me...every time I take my Landslide out something brakes. Just got it Jan 10th and already its getting old having to fix it all the time. Don't get me wrong I know it will brake from time to time. I just want to be able to drive it for a while in between. I haven't even got to finish a tank yet! Hopefully I am just working out all the bugs.

RE: landslide parts
darn stack of pallets anyhow...just jumped right in the way! when the new link comes in i'm going to the river with it. we have no water, but we have more sand than you can shake TWO sticks at! we'll see how the pitchforks do, then i'll order some paddles! [8D]
