Help finding parts for vandal xl

[Bob127]

Hi
I'm new here. Just got back in to the hobby, I picked up a cheap 1.10th buggy thinking it's a hobbyking vandal xl. Does anyone know where I can get spare parts, upgrades or what parts are compatible?
Thank you

Hi Bob, looks like this rig is discontinued, however I did see some parts on ebay.
Your best bet is to buy a used one from ebay so you will have the back up parts.

Cheers mate I will have a look. I did read somewhere that the ftx vantage was compatible, but can't find that page again lol

Good luck with the search.

The FTX Vantage is pretty much the exact same buggy, but, most of the time, parts are straight up unavailable for either one. I had one awhile back, and I actually liked it, until I found out the easiest way to get parts was to find the files online and 3D print them. This was mine when I decided I was done with it:

(turn the sound off though. It's crappy YouTube free background music).

Welcome to owning a Hobbyking RC. No parts after a while. So grab anything you can now!

Another thing I forgot about until I did a search about it, there are a couple other cars, although they may be discontinued as well, that parts will work from that are listed in this post on RC Groups: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2334454-1-10-Quanum-Vandal-XL-4WD-Monster-Buggy

Integy i10b looks to be the same car (same OEM). Integy says the parts are in stock on the website, that may be your best bet.

Use the parts to 3D print a race buggy! (Only the axles are good but still.


Like others said find as many parts as possible and get em before they’re gone.
