sorry if no use

Been looking and i can't seem to find anything for the model.

Visit My Website

Might be worth having a look through there and emailing them to see if any other models share the same drive shafts.

I cant see them being cheap though, mine cost £25 for 2

Mind if i ask why you need longer drive shafts?

to be honest mate, your best off phoneing the manufacturer of the car to get spares, most should do it.
If its a new car, you might be able to get away with saying they broke for no reason (have seen this happen, its quite common)

this is the problem with buying the cheap nitro rc cars unfortunately. It is probably based on something more mainstream, but they never tell you what that is.

I can find loads of sites selling 55mm driveshafts though, why would you need a longer set?

[RG_16]

Try tjdmodels.com they do most nitro car parts but i dunno if they deliver because
they're not far from me so i just go to the shop anyway.

And are you sure it is hps because i've never heard of them it might be a hpi
backwash or hsp.

This is all i can find RC cars they are all complete cars ready to run i would suggest buying a complete one
if spares are hard to find then when it breaks you have an identical load of spares

hope i've been useful

Backwash - seems a strange thing to call an RC car...

How about posting up some pics of it on here, somebody may be able to identify it as a clone of something else so you can just buy parts for that and they'll fit?

Failing that, you could buy a new one from nitrotek.co.uk as they stock full spares for all their models, but to be honest I wouldnt want to buy a whole new car so...

Edit: is this it? If it is you can just get your spares from there!

If its the same one as that link then my mate has the same car. His broke as well and we cant out out why.

[scrog]

ok this is the buggy http://www.thegoodie...uggy-4196-p.asp
now on the parts list that came with it you get a part number
when i ebayed this number and asked a few sellers they had no record of it
but it states its 55mm long so i went out and bought a 55mm drive shaft but this was too short and the ball slightly to big
well contact the company in the link
thanks for your help chaps

[Jimmy Hat]

Here are the dogbones they sell specifically for that buggy, so I'd just buy those and pray, if not email them as their email support is very good (I don't work for them by the way )
