this is not true. there was a printing issue/mistake with the translation of the instruction manual from japanese to english. a friend asked the OS speed people about this and they were suprised and embarrased. there is a part number for it, it is on one of the OS threads |

Its possible, but GP is known to say things like that when they don't want to stock something. I myself have had to make the 4/5 hour phone call to them on more then one occasion to get them to order parts (both OS and Kyosho). You get a lot "why do need this" then 15 minutes on hold, then "whats this for", then another 15 minutes then "let me get a supervisor". It just repeats this till they finally say "OK we'll order it". Be prepared, it'll take a few hours. |
I just want one of the cranks. If anyone finds out where to get the parts please post it here. Thanks
|
+2 more. Anyone know where to get these??
|
hmm, i dun understand y those online RC shops in HK dun sell these parts. but i got them from HK hobby shops that do not have online sales. i also saw the crankshaft for sale too. its priced slightly more expensive than the piston/linear.

how much was the piston/liner set in Hong Kong?
|
Try Pro-Shop-Futaba i know they stock the engine, not sure about the parts though but if anyone would have it they would.
|
yes, its exactly the same as stock crankshaft. rite now, i still have the piston/linear set with me, new, haven't opened, so if anyone wants it urgently, do let me know, i can sell to you 1st, while i get it on my next trip to HK. btw, i m in malaysia.
|
Any way you can show a decent picture, including the part number? The US importer still insists "its an invalid number" :rolleyes: They'll wind up lossing OS like they did Kyosho.
|
well, ok, i shall take a photo of it. like most option parts, it comes with clear plastic packing.
|
Thanks I would like to see the crank and the part number.
