just checkout out thread from start to the end (yep , it is asack for money without the bottom - but at least we know how to make it work 😉 ) :

Ho ho ho! .. new transplants from ali just arrived! Stay tuned 🙂

sure : 1x #9122000012/47620 TGY-390V HV Metal gear Coreless Digital Servo w/ Heat Sink 5.4kg / .11sec / 22.5g (EU Warehouse) = $17.28 But I'm not sure if they still sell it... but wait.. seem like they do with some inflation : https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigytm-tgy-390v-coreless-hv-ds-mg-servo-w-heat-sink-5-4kg-0-11sec-22-5g.html?wrh_pdp=1 I update also above post in case someone needs it. In case you wonder how I installed them, I simply took piece of plastic (poliamid/nylon in my case), made 2 small rectangular blocks, made hole through, hole from bottom and fixed with some random screws, plus some light grinding work on chasis with a file, no problem for years.

Could you check with caliper the leght of this replacement and let us know, my original upgrade haS 53MM, the same as they have in spec fort this part, is it so? Or is it longer than said? I need replacement as mine is not able to keep pins whatever I do. And is this replacement some heavy metal or alu?

Yep, this one is everlasting, but to be honest.. yes.. yes.. I added small washer on the end of shaft for thighter connection of this gear with diff ;)) ...I couldn't resist, like really 🙂

never underestimate a washer :)

ask tbone directly, they are well known for good bumpers. They send worlwide so i see no problem. they ship worlwide.

Guys some follow up on the project Summarizing's been great aventure and fun to upgrade it (and still IS!). Some fotos to commemorate my little frankenstein 😜 I think it time to think about some face-lifting, isn't ? Summarizing, for more than 5years this little monster banged almost anything it could Hundrdes of walls, thousands of stones, tens of stairs, multiple trees, some legs, milions of curbs. Dust, mud, moist, stones, sand, grass, agriculture lands.. From all the upgrades I've made the best were: - miniquake diff on back - service free , fixing front stock diff with additional washer (too reduce loose and clicking inside, since I did it, it works without problems on front, rear needs more - so miniquake diff was 10/10 solution) - own made hardend steel pinion gear (see some previous posts) and alu motor mount part no. M610 - totally service free, key was to make gearing chamber supersealed, no dust can come in. - alu dogbones - sometimes only i lose these small pins, can't see solution for it. - part no. M608 - leopard brushless from asiatees with hobbyking remote + receiver GT2 + turningy Lipo 2200mAh - service free - steel servo from turningy - service free in any weather / road condition (TGY-390V HV Metal gear Coreless Digital Servo w/ Heat Sink 5.4kg / .11sec / 22.5g ) - steel powder diff gear part no. 28600 - service free - aluminium driveshaft part no. M609 - service free - alu diff outdrives for front - part no. M613 service free - the best would be steel ones, still loking for better upgrade. - alu servo saver part no. M611 and alu Steering joint part no. M614. - alu regulated suspension links - ceramic ball bearing for wheels -alu front wheel hub carriers part no. M605 -increased wheels (see some previous posts) with bigger hex ( i quess wheels were no. HSP 58066 , as i cant find them on HK anymore )- huuge improvment on grass - seee this thread: Not recommended "upgrades": - alu susp arms part no. M606 - they bend , too soft, switched back to stock, which are light and super durable. - alu shocks part (old type, dont see them anymore in sales), stock shocks were superior to anything I've tried, just glued them in the bottom part so that they dont get unscrew and stretched a bit springs as it was too soft. Filled with oil 1300, (leave some air on top, it's oil-gas part! piston coming in compresses shock chamber, if no air it will not work). Refilled only once in 5y! -brass pinion gear p. no. 28601 / 28602 - plastic stock was too weak but brass was weaker than plastic, aside - stock spur gear 23613 is great, don't ever upgrade it. Great stock parts (no need to upgrade): - shocks (as explained above) - suspension arms - the same - spur gear - the same - hub carrier (23605), uprights (23604), knuckle arms (23603) - chassis (23601) -wheel axle (23607) if you prefer stock wheels -upper deck (23611), battery cover (23620) -stock bumper with stock hinges - durable as hell Part numbers as per it's real name himoto E18MT / MTL and it's siblings - http://www.exportpro.biz/?page=0&accessories=spare_part or HSP

Yep, just take longer screw. I took some from my personal "box of treasures" where I collect parts from disassembled electronics like old cd drives 😜 Always take something for me before trashing . P.S. Stock shocks were the best from all upgrades i tried, i fix bottom part with superglue, never needed to search debris again

pity this minquake part is not more avasilable , I drive it almost 5 years (!) still, maybe it was too good :). Locked diff is terrible in steering, I'd suggest checkin some upgrades, let us know, this is always like searching of treasures :) !

4 gear was standard in the past for hobbyking spares for pitbull basheer (the same clone as maverick). But haven't purchased recently. The only reliable diff for this car by now is ball dif from duratrax mini-quake - fits perfectly, but it's not cheap.

If u upgrade - dont bother brushed moter - too much troubles (and no place for bigger one - and if u want speed, you would need also exhange gear ratio - bigger motors have usually lower rpm - so you would go slower at the end) Go brushless - we had full thread of all info on this matter: Regarding center shaft and motor mount - the same - look no further than himoto / pitbull basher parts. You can choose from several places. I've used asiatees ( https://www.asiatees.com/model?Himoto-Mastadon-Upgrades-Parts-Hop-Ups&brand=Himoto&model=Mastadon&c=z2 ), hobbyking ( https://hobbyking.com/en_us/cars/spare-parts/basher-pitbull-1-18-4wd-desert-buggy.html ) and himoto branch called exportprobiz ( http://www.exportpro.biz/accessories/spare_part/part_list.php?select=truck_e032 ) as parts source + ebay of course for some cspecial hopups.

However mine (both plastic and alu) have 53mm in total. 51mm may be too short and destroy cups preearly. Someone wrote about it some time ago. I would not go for 51 i quess. Himoto's one are for sure better.
