Hahaha! I liked it because it was in stock! LOL

You're right it looks a lot like Pro-Line wing.

Your welcome sir! He's a link to yeterdays activities. I took my Vorza to a goofy little practice track and had some fun with a few friends. I put a little spy cam on my baseball hat, not very good quality and lots of shadows but some action.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Fellas,

I'm planning on getting a Vorza within the next couple of weeks and had a few questions. I've been into RC's for a little while. Have a Blitz ESE (for sale) and a CupRacer. But only played around with those here and there. Didn't delve into deep. I'm going over seas in a month or so and want the Vorza to take with me. I've read about 75% of the almost 400 pages of this thread and have gotten lost of great info. So my questions are:

1. What spare parts/fluids/tools do you guys stock up on? I remember reading about some rear axle breakages and whatnot.

2. Any recommendations on a 4S Lipo? Run time being my major concern.

3. How fast are you guys going through tires? Recommendation for basher tires?

4. Any other recommendations for me, as I'll be in a place where parts will be hard to come by.

Sorry for the long post. And thank you guys for having such a great resource of information.

I would go to Ebay and start bidding, you can get some great deals.
Spare parts that I like have in stock:
get some front drive shafts, you can use them on the rear also
spare center shafts
front and rear suspension arms
HBS 67404 universal shaft rebuild kit
inner and out suspension pins front and rear
front hub & spindle set
rear hub set
aluminum sevo horn
should get some spare pinions like 16, 17 or a 18. If it's hot where you're going stick with the stock 15 or maybe a 16.
spare wheel nuts (sound dumb until your day ends because you lost one)
full set of spare bearings, I would go to Avid bearing and stock up, $1.00 each.

I like single 4s packs, I buy mine at hobbypartz.com. My favorite is the Gen Ace 40c 5000mah hardcase packs for $66, the Blue 4s aren't bad for $50

For a good bashing tire that lasts try Pro-line Knuckles. They're a good all terrain tire.
Fluids: depends on what you use, I use 5k & 3k oil.

get a good set of allens like http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-15-20-25-30mm

I probably missed something, easy way to make up a list is go to amainhobbies.com and type in vorza, most of the parts for it will pop up, about 5 pages worth. Hope this helps a little, if I missed something I'm sure someone with chime in. If you have any more questions fire away! One more thing I would get a spare servo, I found a great deal at hobbyking.com for $23, it works really good and man can't beat the price. I'll find the part#. If you want you could get a nice Savox or Hitec, both make great products.

Here's that servo I was telling you about, it works great!!!http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=12451

+1, nice job. look at the duratrax preglued wheels, ive been using the lockups and they hold up well. im trying the xcons next.

jones8352

iTrader: (1)

I've never tried the duratrax tires, they look good and it would be nice get them preglued. Ben how's the factory glue job on those tires? Just for kicks I put the stock Vorza tires on my Rustler. It had a Castle 2650 in it on 4s geared 28x50. The stock tires never failed. I had it really rolling and not one spot on the wheels came loose. I don't know what kind of glue they use but it's some good stuff. I even tried boiling them and they still wouldn't come off. I thought that was kind of strange. Acetone should should work. I have eleven sets of tires coming (hot Ebay deal), I might as well get some use out of those wheels.

bigben1165

iTrader: (9)

the glue job on the duratrax wheels is great. if you search for a thread that i started a while ago about getting tires off of wheels. i NEVER got the stock tires off of the stock wheels. i tried everything and nothing would release the glue. i dont know what HPI uses for glue but it holds like a mo fo.

jones8352

iTrader: (1)

Now I remember reading that, seems like you said you had tried boiling, baking and Acetone. I would have thought Aetone would disolve just about any thing. I wonder if HPI would share their secret forumula. I could just cut the tires off, they're worn out. Then I could put a wire wheel on my rotary tool to get the glue off. A lot of work for a cheap set of beat up wheels. Na I'll just buy some new ones! LOL

new stock wheels are pretty cheap, i think like 799 for 2?
