Hello All out there in crazy RC Land...I was walking through the park with a gorgeous woman...and there was an AXIAL crawler, well two, a guy and his girl were running these amazingly awesome vehicles...his was hopped up with a bluetooth speaker...I was overwhelmed...the days of RC of my youth was the RC10...which I couldn't afford... Well, I bought a SCX10 within two weeks of seeing his crawler...basic car with some upgrades....already started modding....working on LEDs now I am in need of spare parts....I am not sure where to post in search of...etc...I figured I would join a forum and do some seeking before spending more retail $$$ Looking for LEDs, a rocker switch, JST male/female (3 sets) My truck only came with the truck and body...I was hoping to find 4 of the light/grilles to put over the LEDs in the front and rear *Cannot figure out how to upload a photo?? |

You can upload photos by using the tapatalk app. Look for stuff in the classifieds section. I recommend paying the $20 to become a star member also, it'll open up more options to you. Look through the stickies so you get a rough idea of what the different membership levels get you. Tons of great info in the scx10 section. Welcome to the addiction and get ready to buy your lady a rig

HobbyKing has pretty much everything you need in terms of LEDs, wires and connectors. Huh?! You're new here, aren't you? | |

First of all this hobby is much more enjoyable when you're single. So ditch the hottie before she starts complaining about the buckets of money you will be dumping into your new and true love Seriously though. You've come to a great place that has endless amounts of great info, unlike FB and the flex Friday crowd you'll find on there. In your search for spare parts, I'd recommend places like RPP Hobby and look through the vendors that are listed on here. I hate to say this, but sometimes I use fleaBay for some things that I'm having a hard time finding or to get a good deal. By the way, welcome aboard! |
