looking to buy some spare original parts, there getting harder to find and i'm trying to keep 4 of these running for some "hand out car" racing.
the newer versions have a different radio and 3in1 board and it's just not in the budget to replace all cars to keep them equal in performance.
we have a broken radio (wheel return spring) , glitchy 3 in 1 board and i think another 3in1 board with a bad FET or a bad motor. if anyone has upgraded their electronics and want to sell some of these parts or maybe a whole original buggy, rally car or truck send me a message.

ebay looks to have good supply of parts now. It had very little listed only couple months ago.

thanks, i do keep an eye on ebay and never seen a gen1 radio, or 3in1 board. unfortunately all of these parts i see "new" are a newer version and just to replace all 3in1 boards and radios to keep things equal would be more than we spent on 4 new cars just a few years ago.

I didn’t think about the new radio. I’ve got 4 of the older ones , 3 buggy 1 rally. AMain hobby was carrying parts at one time. One of mine has broken antenna, limited to a 20-25 foot range. AMain did have the boards

They don't appear to have any radio or radio parts in stock,
yet DollarHobbyz is a great place to order Carisma parts from for reasonable price. They keep live inventory, -i've ordered a lot from them never w/ any issue.

as for radios, yeah, eBay is the only place I can think of.
I too have 4 radios (the older/original style) ...but using for my 4 cars.
I stocked up on lots of extra parts, unfortunately no radio parts.

Hey all, I just picked up a used GT24TR locally and I am in need of some dog bones and shocks. Do the truggy and buggies share the same shocks? Also, where can I find a 2S battery charger? The 1S USB charger says it can’t be used for 2S unfortunately

I will post pictures of the 2s battery when I get home. I use my regular charger for both 1 and 2s


i don’t have the truggy. I think might be different. Rally and buggy are same.

Thanks Billy

My GT24TR was missing a front dog one when I got it, so I bought a pair of truggy dogbones, and they are too short. Any idea what to do?

Those might be the buggy ones.

Didn’t know that. I bought a lot of parts early as nothing was available in the States back then.
