[pissant]

i just found out my lhs does NOT sell kyosho parts at all. man what should i do. i was all happy and excited to get this buggy and they dont sell parts for it!!

 

[Storming]

use the web!!

but its going to become a pain if i break parts. i am going have to think of about it if i break something i will have to wait for parts to come in!! man i should i have looked into my lhs to see of they carry parts becuase now i find all this stuff and surf for nothing!!!

yes that does suck, and it sucks again having to stock up on parts for an rc just in case you break it. The next top of the line buggy would be the MBX 5, I dont know if you even want that one but if you are going for top of the line does you hobby shop sell parts for that, and if so you my consider changing you buggy choice to the MBX5. Unless you really want the kanai then go with what your LHS has parts for, cause you will break something, and you really dont want to have to wait a week or more for a part to come by mail. There are other buggies that can be hopped up and made into really nice race buggies, maybe for even less than the kanai.

well i am going for the mugen, my lhs sells parts for it, should i wait for the new mugen to come out?? also can i still use the kanai engine for the mugne??

hahhahahahahhahaha I have the same prob with my buggy. Except all close hobby shops in my state only sell for trucks and mainly traxxas, trinity, and hpi. I have a hotbodies buggy. Isnt that great?

 

[Nitro_Freak]

maybe you should have looked into that before you bought your buggy

 

[pissant]

well i have not bought anything yet so... i decided to go for ther new mugen buggy that is coming out later this month

 

[Maskale]

yes you can use the kanai #1 edition in the MBX5

so why dont you ask the shop to start carrying kyosho parts. the shop i deal with is pretty flexible with that sort of stuff. i asked him to stock a certain brand of fuel i like, he did. i told him i bought a micro heli, he now carries parts for that too. i just bought a PRP swift, and now he will carry those parts for me. he knows I'm rough on my toys and will buy the stuff eventually, and it gives other customers a chance to get exposed to new products. and diversifies his shop to better cater to everyone who walks in the door. customers who already have a need for the parts, that he never even knew about, can now get them locally too.

why dont you move? Or if your really serious, buy 2 kits, one to build and keep the other for parts.

The SpecPro wont be out until around the end of July. Thats the word now. Just so you know.

Good luck with whatever buggy you get!

Man, Kyosho parts are so cheap on Ebay now, I got all the KIII diffs for under 100 bucks, I got all the arms for about 50. I can give you a list of what I would buy and have on hand.


#1 Front arm set
#2 Front Knuckles and tie rods (I got these for 17 bucks together)
#3 Rear arm set (I got these for 21.00)
#4 Set of titanium turnbuckles http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5904401516&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1

Those are the main things I have had to break.
