Arghhhhhh what is going on with parts!

Ok so time for a rant!

 

I had a Savage XS and while it was an awesome monster truck I got fed up trying to source parts, thank you HPI! I wanted something bigger anyway so decided to go for the HoBao Hyper 7 with a brush less conversion and here I am again waiting for a simple diff cup :( I ordered it 2 weeks ago when it was due in on the 31st August, then the 7th September then the 11th September and here I am still waiting :(

 

Summer is on it's way out so at this rate I won't get to run her for a while.

 

Are there any companies actually supplying parts reasonably quickly 5hese days?

Do you just need one of these?:

I got loads. Most of them won't come off the pinions but the above is brand new, off a new diff I bought but I prefer the centre cvd's so removed the cup.

Thanks guys for all the input.

It was still more of a rant than anything!

Anyway the part is still on backorder with modelsport so hopefully it will get resolved.

The part looks like@Smoothybb pic, it is the cup that fits from the diff input, the other side of the cup is the gear that turns the front/rear diff, I had to drill the original one out!

I'm trying to work out how a CVD could replace it?

I'll go check out the link again!

Ok so these look like they bolt to the gear on the diff, funny I was trying to search for alternatives and couldn't find any! Think I'll order these, thanks buddy

If you've gone for the cvd's, they bolt on the same as the cups do, even use the same grub screw which is why its missing in my pic. :D
