Kyosho RC Car
Zrooney:
Recently I acquired an old Kyosho 4 wheel drive RC Car. The rubber on the rear shocks are essentially non-existent and the controller receiver is not working in the slightest bit. So my question to you do you know of a retailer online where I find a set of rear shocks and a controller receiver on the internet for under 50$?
Samstag:
I used to buy all my RC stuff from Tower Hobbies, but it's been a long time and I don't know how their prices match up these days.
But I'm guessing you can get a compatible receiver and shocks for $50 or less with a little shopping around. I'm a little surprised the receiver would be bad, since they tend to be pretty reliable. And I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the rubber being bad on the shocks, but if you're talking about o-rings you can probably get some from a hardware store for pennies.
Zrooney:
No, not O-rings. The shocks actually have a rubber piece on the bottom of them where they connect to the car with a screw.
Nephasth:
Bushings. Like these...
...but smaller, for tiny cars.
Samstag:
Ah, I see. All the RC cars/trucks I've owned have had swivel ball joints like these:
But it looks like Kyosho sells bushing kits, so you may not need to buy the whole shock.
