Help needed with some RC-car parts

Post by joerg »

I had a real bad crash with my Flux 5T last weekend and need some parts now. Sad thing, they´re not avaiable thru my retailer or HPI Europe anymore.

I need 2 pieces of HPI part number 86372 and 1 piece of HPI part number 86373. These are the Steering Blocks from a steering conversion kit from HPI for the Savage FLUX.

It would be great if somebody with a shop close to him could help out.

Thanks and Greetz
Joerg

damn I was just in my local hobby shop lookin at parts three days ago. Now we have a winter weather advisory and are expecting snow all day today.

If you can find someone that ships I would be happy to help ya but from the sounds of it we will not be leaving the house for the next couple days. If you are not in a huge hurry I would be happy to stop by when the weather clears. A snow advisory here could mean a dusting, or 14 inches we have seen both happen.

Getting the batteries charged on my slash 4x4 as we speak and the paddle tires are ready!
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

I´m in no rush since waiting for parts is better than not getting them at all. Would be more than happy if u could help out on this ttocs.

Your in luck I live near both of the biggest hobby distributors in the world. When I get off work I'll look them up and get you a price for them. If they will fit in a small flat rate box shipping should be less than $20 to you. Or they will ship international they are tower hobbies and horizon hobby.

http://www.hobbies4life.com says they have both in stock.

Those part numbers are the R and L spindles in purple. If I find the same part in another color, will that work too?

The same seller has them on ebay too...

HPI 86373 - ebay# 220877204916
HPI 86372 - ebay# 220953619326
