Dannymitchell506 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I have a Carlson p190 1/8 on road which has broke something to do with the diff/gears. I've been looking for bloody months and can't seem to find the part I need because to be honest I don't know what I'm looking at with nitro cars. I've emailed and rang shops and people but no one seems to hold parts or have any clue about them , will someone help me please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthoop Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I don't know the part number because I don't know what the part is that's broken Well it will be very hard for me to guess at which parts you will need....if you could investigate the problem and find the fault then we will be able to fix it...

Dannymitchell506 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 If you don't mind mate could you look at the link below , I had added pictures and described it before when someone tried to help me, thanks http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/188470-110-rolling-chassis-wanted/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I had one of these new many moons ago under the Gv brand even the shop who sold them new couldn't get the parts in so he broke the last few he had for spares to keep the odd customer happy then sacked the supplier off. Your best bet for spares would be waiting for a second hand one to pop up on eBay but that could be a long wait. Could you not just lock the diff internals with metal or hot glue if that's your issue . Or sell yours off for spares & buy a better branded car second hand .

Dannymitchell506 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Yeah exactly mate they're like rocking horse **** now ahah I'll probably be waiting years for one to pop up , I didn't think about trying to lock it up I might have to try that , cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Worth a shot locking it drift it till it goes pop lol. I do have some old carson spares new in pack but I'm sure there for the 1/8th large scale version they did with the 17mm wheel hex an it's only shafts / crown wheel kits etc no internal diffs I'm sure . I do have a full roller to but again it's the larger scale car that has same issue but centre diff . Carson used cheap plastic so they never lasted .

Dannymitchell506 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Haahaha think that's what I'm going to do , I know mines a 1/8 scale but large scale I'm unsure of , if I could get a roller when I could just swap parts over and whatever but as you say it's the large scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Post a pic up of your exact car. Yeh You could get a hyper roller cheap or hong nor etc an as you say donor the engine etc over just need to change clutch bell if your on 2 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymitchell506 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 What on the whole car or just the broken part , yeah mate it's just finding one that will fit my engine and stuff and I don't really know what I'm looking at I've only had this car a few months I found it in my uncles loft from when he was a boy so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Put one up of the car bud I'm sure it's the smaller one you have they classed as 1/8 but true scale is 1/10. If that's the case the engine etc will be to small to fit hyper etc . Pull the diff apart you may be able to re file the teeth if they are worn or re shim them to get them closer . We can advise you better then on getting it fixed or best route to take. Just give the car a good once over. Check the cogs on engine clutch bell an the other two they run on make sure there ok ie no missing or chipped teeth .

Dannymitchell506 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'll upload the photos tomorrow mate but how do I even do it haha , yeah cheers mate , it's not the actual gears which are broke it's something on the gearing/diff which engages the drive shafts , that's my rubbish description anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/forum/95-guides-tutorials/ There's a post in there that shows you how to post up pics. It could be many things crown wheel & pinion not shimmed an caused them to ware out an loose drive or could be clutch not letting it drive or even a grub screw fell out the drive cup on centre shaft to diff output ,But I'm sure we can guide you lol. We all started somewhere so don't worry. Where are you based ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
