Long story short towed a car for a friend and in return he gave me a box full of r/c stuff.. Back in 04-06 he was really in to them and since 06 they have been sitting on a shelf. They all run but one needs parts because of a radio issue that sent it in to the side of his house.

The problem I'm having is he gave me a Ofna 9.5 Violator and two GS storm unlimited trucks or "truggys" I think there called. One of the storms is stock I think? and it is the one that hit the house doing damage to the front in the pictures below.. The other storm has a lot of aftermarket parts including the ofna pico motor I think thats what it is called. None of them have bodys.. wheels/tires need to be replaced and need some parts.

I am having a hard time finding parts for these cars/trucks (if anyone knows where to go to find some let me know) so are they even worth trying to get back to what they were in 06 or am I just wasting time?

Any and all post will be helpfull.. Thanks!

So here's the good news and the bad news. The good news is the GS lineup is interchangeable and the bad news is they haven't made parts for these cars in quite sometime. I had to replace my rear diff on my storm buggy and only ebay had it. So unfortunately the only place is ebay. My suggestion is to get one running and use the other for parts. Hope this helps, Steve.
