I've not really been out with it lately because it's been bloody clod here and I'm a cold weather wuss. I hate it. But I did manage to get the FS GT-3C installed and tuned in. Seems like a really nice radio for the money. Been having a bit of trouble with the axle slopping side to side, affecting steering a little. Not a real big deal considering the relatively small amount of money I have in this thing. Been eyeing the RC4WD Toyota body lately. It really needs a body that is as nice as those axles..... Glad to see some more are making their way into the states! |

He could try Flickr from windows or Mac. Something I'm experimenting with is Google photos: https://www.labnol.org/internet/embe...website/29194/ Last edited by StomperCrawler; 01-15-2018 at 10:35 PM. Reason: Punctuation and added pics |

So the tranny gears are part number 61853, and the CVDs are 68214, but I can't find any spare parts on the interweb. Anybody got a lead on these since they tend to break and I don't want another dead toy-grade RC to throw in the trash? |

| Re: RGT RC4 Ver.3 Bowler (aka FTX/HSP/Barrage) I emailed RGT twice regarding where to get parts. The first time they advised me to shop for ECX Barrage parts from Amain Hobbies. When I explained that I can get parts from Asia, they told me to get parts from Asia Tees. I have not had any luck finding parts from either of those sites. So far, the nice parts listed in the manual seem to only exist in the manual.

Yeah man, If RGT wants to sell more trucks, I hope they will wake up and get some parts out there for sale. I know there must be a place in China with all kinds of HSP parts, but I don't know how to find it....yet. I guess I'm glad I went with the ECX version. I know Horizon Hobby does the right thing. |

Update: I found this. I think it's version 1 but maybe a lot of the parts are the same? http://rgt-racing.com/cn_asp/productshow.asp?id=1114 I found some of the part numbers and descriptions match the Redcat Everest 16 parts: http://www.redcatracing.com/Advanced...#cv=EVEREST-16 Last edited by StomperCrawler; 01-16-2018 at 09:25 AM. | |

I got this email address to try from a guy in an RGT Facebook group. Worth a shot. rgt-hobby@foxmail.com |

Only Redcat part I've found that matches is the spool in the axles.... Truck is looking good, NEDan!

So i picked up a 1st gen rgt crawler for the cost of a carton of beer then sold it to a mate. He killed the little 380 motor in no time so we tried to fit a traxxas titan 380 motor which is identical in size to the 390 in this 3rd gen but it did mot fit. So I did some investigation and compared all 3 versions of the trans. First the original trans from the redcat e16/hsp kulak/ecx rukas. Then the 1st gen rgt trans with 380 motor then the 3rd gen with 390 motor. Trans housing and gears are identical but the motor plate is different for all 3. My mate tried modifying the 380 motor plate so it looks similar to the 390 in the pics. ECX trans ECX vs. RGT (GEN 1) ECX vs. RGT without covers ECX motor vs. Losi MRC motor ECX 18 vs. RGT V1 vs. RGT V3 RGT 390 vs. TRAXXAS 380 TITAN Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Last edited by honchojoe; 06-11-2018 at 04:31 AM. |

My mate ended up selling his before I could fix it so I had to use my 390 motor, motor plate and pinion to get it going in time. So now I need to source those 3 parts but it's proving more difficult than I thought. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |

Barrage doomsday or the kit barrage have those parts and should swap in easy like they did for your mate's rig. https://m.ebay.com/itm/New-Dynamite-...UAAOSwdx1Z-Cqa https://m.ebay.com/itm/New-ECX-Barra...IAAOSwjodZ6p1x Last edited by hillbillyrc; 06-11-2018 at 07:17 AM. |
