my 1st buggy was also a HSP WARHEAD
i still have it although it need a bit of money spent on it before it will run again... lets say
engine rebuild
all new front and rear assembly.. all the bearings and holders and that are gone
new tires
new receiver
i honestly dont think its worth spending the money on but i am going to do it anyways haha
i never want to get rid of any of my rigs... if I'm never going to use them again then just make sure there in working order and then shelf em... they are all gonna have some good stories behind them and hey when I'm not interested in RC anymore (hopefully never happens) then least ill have a decent car collection for my house haha

Well if you want to get your warhead running again, then you can't go wrong with this supplier. All my nitros are HSP and he stocks everything for them in Aus. Unbeatable service and great prices. He also races them.

Yea them seem to be a good supplier and there after sale service is also great
Like i said they have needed everything that i have ever needed so i can't complain
Also do combined postage which is good and postage usually takes a week to SA

we havent tried buying anything from them just yet but we will have to so hopefully it will be all smooth........he needs a front drive shaft...... its not the one comin from the gear box...... its the one that actually goes to the wheel (what is that called????) and front lower arm..... but i told him to upgrade to alloy........

there called dog bones but if hes bent them and kept running with them bent then hes gonna need alot more than them
i also recomend getting CVD joints all the way around... much better and dont twist like dogbones.
yea go alloy... holds together better even if it is a little more expensive it will last alot longer
That supplyer is easier to navigate around if you have the part number but if u don't i still have my book and will be able to supply you with them if u need

i totally forgot bout tryin that solly......
I'm using 2 x 1800mah 7.2v batteries 65535.................. and i was told it would be enough by the LHS.................. how do you hook a starter box upto a car battery..... is it just with aligator clips?

For an already broken in motor sure, it should be enough. But If it's just not doing the job move to a higher mAh. I run 3600's in mine.
Yup. That's what the clips are there for.

Amoeba.... the motor isnt fully run in yet n the guy from LHS sia that maybe y it was playin silly buggers......
but if i wana use a car battery then that means i gota alter to cables on the starter box cos they have plugs now n not clips.....therefore id have to replace the cable or alter them.........am i correct????? do u run 2x3600maH in your box amoeba???
