Bigfoot Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 I managed to damage my brand new Bigfoot no 1 truck after 30 mins of driving it around the yard. See attachments. I assume I should be able to fix it myself but where do I find the exact parts i need for this model? also I am rather surprised how fragile it is. I did not do crazy stunts with it and would expect it would be more robust have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 The manual should have a parts list/exploded diagram check the diagram and use the part numbers on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 Find part no for broken part using this part diagram and then search for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 I’d look at either fitting Rpm or some Traxxas alloy ones in blue, its the same part as it is for a 2wd Slash also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/29284 Thats the stock part, its quite a weak are, the issue with the Bigfoot is as good as it was at launch its getting over 20 years old now, and things have moved on a lot. Upgraded RPM parts https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/rpm-traxxas-2wd-front-bearing-carriers-black-15472 You can find also find alloy upgrades, but dont go too far with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted June 19, 2024 Author Share Posted June 19, 2024 Awesome thanks for the help! So if I order these https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/rpm-traxxas-2wd-front-bearing-carriers-black-15472 that should be enough and they are better than the ones that it came with?

You also need 4 of these if you upgrade to those RPM Carriers https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/modelsport-uk-bearing-5x11x4-1053 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need 1x pair of RPM front carriers and 4x bearings. There are a few parts to upgrade to make it stronger but I wouldn’t worry too much until you actually break a part. Just use it and upgrade as you go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
