Looking for odds and ends to build a christmas present!
 

Hey Rc-monster.

Been gone at college for a while but figured I would drop by.
Im working on building up a buggy for my 14 year old partner in crime Michael white... This time last year we got him a 4x4 slash and he loves in and got hooked to the sport!:yes: But now his driving is getting better he is realizing that his 4x4 slash wont keep up with my BL truggy :lol: So I have decided to build him an 8th scale buggy for christmas. Its a Sportwerks Mayhem. while chit chatting with a racing buddy I stumbled across 2 incomplete cars in one of his mountains of rc junk and saw potential. I picked up both of the cars for a song and a dance (thats high dollar for college folk):lol:

Looking for a few more bits to finish it up. Between the two chassis I have most of the car itself already
Wondering if anyone has anything sitting forgotten in a drawer that they would like to donate.

Looking for:
8x16 bearings
set of 4 17mm hubs
Set of wheels and tires
A motor (dont think a traxxas vxl will cut it)

Thanks for reading. heres a picture of michael and his 4wd slash.

Thanks,

Im assuming this is your brother you are building a buggy for? I got my little brother into the sport as well. He never got into it as much as i did though. Good luck on your parts quest!

A very close cousin. Basically a brother :)

Thanks Josh

Ben I may have a nip set of buggy bowtie tires you can have...mind you they have been sitting for 3 yrs in the package....not sure of the rims. I will check and let you know in the am or by the afternoon at the latest.

This is a very nice gesture you are doing...well done

Thanks magman, When i got into rc i went through all the phases that ended up going horribly wrong, trying to prevent that and teach the boy how to drive also.. hes got a good hand on it but jumping is a task as hes trying to lean to jump a 4x4 slash ie kite with wheels.
:)

If the mayhem buggy is anything like my mayhem st (just built it for my nephew's xmas gift) you can use hexes made for the Savage x, xl, flux, etc (not E-Savage though). I used 17mm stock style ones with the big flanged nuts because I had them around, but any hex or hex kit made for Savage will fit.

It uses standard 8mm hubs, needs standard buggy 17mm hubs with a through hole for the cross pin :)

Thanks

I have a $10 certificate for Ebay that needs to be used up before Dec. 10th. Feel free to find something that totals $10 shipped (might be able to find hexes or bearings?) and I'll buy and have shipped to you. I know it's not much, but it's what I can offer. PM me if interested.

Pm replied, thanks simple champ!

Sent you a pm w/what I have....now the hunt begins for a box

Thanks magman!

Arct1k Came through in a big way for the project and donated a hpi flux 2650kv motor and a set of tires. Thanks chris!

are you still seeing sparks from plugging in the mamba xl? :lol:

Do you need any wings? I may have a couple of used ones around that are in good shape..let me know

What diameter is the CV shaft? I have a set of new 17mm hubs that I can donate if they will work. Give me that measurement and I will see if I have the correct ones you need, they were out of package when I got them so I really don't know what they go to.

The stub shafts are standard 8th scale 8mm diameter. the hubs would be 8mm ID. :)

Yeah these will work, they are indeed 8mm. PM me your address and I will drop them in the mail for ya.
