Anybody know of some hobby shop(s) within the USA, besides Stormer, Speedtech, Tower that have the following parts in stock? (Prefer to stay within USA, unless shipping is "reasonable" for out of this country.)

Front Ball diff
Locked layshaft pin/rod
16 tooth alum. pulley

I checked all the sites listed above and am looking for a one stop deal. I know tower has everything but the layshaft. I want to snag all it in one shopping trip and was hoping maybe someone knows of a shop around here that has what I need.

And to think of it before, I had one of these cars back in late Aug. and I regret selling it. At least this time I got to assemble it!

Dont worry it is in good hands and still kicking ass, If you wanted to buy it back it could be negotiated.

any 64 dp spur will fit as long as its smaller than 108 as this size sticks out of the chassis

Im lazy so im quite partial to using an 81T (48 pitch) spur.
The pinion effectively matches the rollout when you use rubber tires :P

I think you will struggle to get higher than 35mm rollout though if that is what you require.

there are no delrin spools available... they would easily break.
go with the newer version 3 spool that is found on the WCE.
ball diffs are available... try tower.

thanks for your help jason!.how do i adjust the push of the car though?
thanks stephen.

I don't think any 64pitch will work because I got one from another maker and the holes didn't match.
