James is one of the MOST standup guy (rc shop owner) I know. Every-time I placed an order with him it's was always in the mail the same day or if it was late it would be shipped in the morning the next day. He will go out of his way to get you parts at a great price, I refuse to order from anybody else because I feel like a valued customer and I'm sure that I'm not the only person that feels like that.

James thanks for the great service and keep up the GREAT WORK. You are truly an asset to me and the RC community.

Just my $0.02......

At this time we have an ebay store and a walk in Hobby shop only. Sorry for any confusion and hassles for anyone.

Thank you for being so understanding George. I'm really sorry for that craziness that happened to you. I would be pissed off a bit myself if 3 weeks went by and no word about my order. I spoke to our website company and they said Paypal is auto set as default payment so our website was taking orders without us knowing about it Turns out there was another order just a few days after yours I had to mad scramble to get in touch with that guy as well. Its all shut down now so that wont happen again. In the meantime if you need anything we are happy to help even without a website. Customers love our "order by text" or you can just call or PM me.
We have every part and option part in stock for both Agama Vehicles

We do not ever mistreat our customers, and for the record we do not break up kits or sell anything used. All our product is factory sealed.

My apologies for the assumption. Going back & actually paying attention, your stuff is obviously not broken down kits. I just see that so much on eBay these days I made an erroneous assumption.

I got the 48t spur gear to install in my agama but the spur touches the chassis. I m using the r4 chassis. Do I have to raise the diff housing with shims? No?

why do you want to go that big? stock is 45. i believe the 48 is an option gear for the truggy.

I see. ya, you will either need to raise the diff or machine the chassis.

Truck is 49t stock.

I was thinking that I would also want to run a bigger spur on the buggy so I can use the clutch bells I already have... But maybe the bigger clutch bells with the bigger bearings would be better anyway...

An explanation to the "new" carbon towers would be appreciated such as thickness and geometry. Are they the same as the original wide carbon towers but only thicker?

I currently have the PSM option towers and they are very stout and have a similar geometry to the wide towers hobby pro offered.
