With some parts not available anymore, maybe this is also Roche will introduce a new F1 car?

I’m sure they will find a solution, they are still producing parts. They just came out with a new 1/12. It’s just a matter of time

Does anyone know if the rear axle height adjusters on the Evo 3 can be swapped with the units from another brand?

Not able to source the Roche ones here in Australia.

Thank you.

Well, seeing as I was utterly inundated with replies to my last post, I’m going to take a punt on Associated parts.

Older XRay X1s had a similar part - maybe 2017? I think I have one in the shop, will check today.

Another alternative is 3D print - I made some for an RJ Speed pan car printed in ASA / ABS.

Roche USA - any relief coming for the out of stock plastic parts? Or are we now running obsolete cars?

The one person at our track who got the Krasedbuild lower arms couldn’t get the camber less than 2 to 2.5 degrees. His might have been flawed, not sure. The evo3 F1 is a great car but the 2 of us running the car at our track decided to move on from the car due to lack of parts support.

They found the error but only learned about it through a comment on here.
The machine calibration was off causing the Y-axis to be off.

They fixed the problem just havent had time to restock the correct ones.

I'm starting to think the same way. I'm really happy with the car, but when its out of action waiting on basic parts for an extended period, maybe it's time to move on.

I’m the one that had the issue, I should have contacted the guy but figured I would be told to deal with it. I just couldn’t take anymore of this car and sold it. They never contacted me to say sorry we burned you and sent you the wrong parts after they discovered they were wrong.

No response when asked to elaborate on your one word reply, and in the meantime I’ve tried Xray, Associated, 3 Racing and Tamiya.

NONE fit.
