I bought a cheap 50 mph brushless 1/8 buggy

[707offroad]

The crawler is a Exceed MAXSTONE 8 and the tires are 9.8" RC4WD Demolishers

I've been running this practically nonstop and it's great! I smashed a curb and broke more stuff though. I fab'd up some hdpe for rear hub and beat the axle shaft straight with a hammer

new tires, wheels, esc and motor

[jessejoe23]

That is sweet. I just picked up a brand new roller for $100. What motor are you running? I'm gonna try out a ballistic 4.5 with a mmp esc.

[707offroad]

The current motor setup is a saker 36x74 3490kv 4 pole. I should also be getting another motor in the mail tonight that is a leopard 40x74 4074kv 4 pole that's going to require a custom motor mount. The esc is a Hobbywing 150a EZRUN that can run up to 6 cell lipo at 25 volts!.

I hate to admit it but you guys were right. The rear ring and pinion gave up today and I have no desire to try and source a replacement. It was fun while it lasted though. On the flipside my brushless traxxas slash 4x4 isn't as fast or predictable at high speeds so i will be modding it next weekend with a set of swaybars and a 19 tooth pinion

We have hardened steel ring & pinions for Redcats, and I wouldn't be horribly surprised if they worked. Do you have a picture of the assembled diff when you pulled it out, or maybe some P/N's listed in the manual?

i think you could buy some parts at CERMARK but give them a call.. i heard somebody in youtube saying that they can get you some parts. and im getting a roller this same buggy

hey hi think i found some parts for that buggy go here Rear Hub Carrier this is the rear hub. looks something similar to the one that broke.. and or check this parts list to see which one you think it will fit here his page Spare Part MadFire LE/RE.. hope this helped u..

[mroswaldo15]

and go to nitrorcx.com they have dogbones right there, different sizes you just need to know what is the lentgh.

[707offroad]

Thanks guys! The parts I made are still working fine though. It's all the metal parts that need replacing. Like the Joint cups for the dog bones, the spider & planetary gears and ring & pinion gears. I think I might try their gears though.

I saw that site and didn't want to wait 3 weeks for parts that might be wrong. Also my antivirus popped up and said it was an untrusted site and it has never done that before.
