Repairing radios...

[DeaDShorT]

Anybody ever dealt with the Radio manufacturers for repairs on discontinued models? I've got a Hitec Lynx 3D that took a suicide leap off the workbench today. Worried that the replacement parts may not be available, I LOVE this radio. Looks like I might get by with a new front case and a couple of internal parts.

Anyone know of a resource other than Hitec?


Anxiously waiting for guidance.

The case can be fixed, no big deal.

How bad are the internals? I've dropped transmitters before, been lucky not to break'm I guess.

If nothing else, I've got a local guy's Competition Electronics charger here that I'm repairing...wouldn't be too difficult for me to fix your TX.

...and I'm reasonably priced. :mrgreen:

The steering wheel and cam came out after it hit the cement floor, I think a new case half, if available, should take care of it. I'm thinking Hitec would be my best bet...they are the OEM. I'd bought the unit used, and it's not a big deal to spend a little to get it done. It is a really good unit, with a bunch of options. The rechargeable battery pack/holder and charger are worth what I paid for the whole unit.


Thanks for the reply, I was getting to panic mode real quick. Love the avatar, by the way;-) .

Best *&%^$ news I've had in a week!!! Just got off the tele with the Hitec peps:

PARTS ARE AVAILABLE!!!



Looks like it's $20 flatrate fee/parts included. It'll probably cost more in shipping!!:grin:


Stan's a happy boy!!!
