  1. Thanks mate, iv used them a couple times and their pretty good but they dont stock all the spares
  2. Just been looking through the links and i cant see anything for the Axxe, seems like everyone stocks everything but Axxe parts. For those who dont know the Axxe is part of the Kyosho EZ Series, so when looking for parts dont assume searching for axxe will bring up results, EZ series seems to be the most common search result but still doesnt show UK based suppliers. Next question is, how do i set my ride height with upgraded shocks? Main problem i have is that the angle of my drive shafts seem too steep, recently resulting in the drive cups wearing out and also makes the buggy at low speeds appear to be bouncing, Once the car is above half throttle the car sits lower and runs smoother, which im assuming means that the drive shafts at high speeds are running alot straighter due to the car dipping down. Can i cut the springs and achieve a lower ride hieght or am i going to run into problems?
  3. look under the EZ series on the catergory side, looks like im not the only one struggling to find parts
  4. Cheers for the reply guys, ill have a look later, but heres a few pics of my AXXE, upgraded oil shockes, brushless waterproof system, custom lights and some stickers. ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http://http://s953.photobucket.com/user/lewisallen2010/media/axxe.png.html'>
  5. Evening everyone, havnt been on for a while due to moving house and having no internet.. but iv finally got it. Having a right nightmare at the min trying to get spares for my Kyosho AXXE, mainly the spur gear, MS never have any of the parts in stock, everywhere else is expensive. soo can anyone shed light my questions: Best place for spares (UK based) for kyosho axxe Are there other companys that i can use for parts for example using traxxas parts on my kyosho. Anyone know of metal spur gears for the Kyosho axxe, its currently a 91T with a 27t pinion,(currently running metal pinion on a plastic spur and the plastic spur doesnt last long, espically on brushless) Any mods I should do? Will post pictures later cheers
  6. cheers for quick response guys. Im still looking at the cars you suggested, the h2 looks good, not a fan of ftx purely because if my brushless system breaks I want a back up. any more suggestions ?
  7. Hi everyone, after some advice on self build kits. Pretty new to RC I have a BSD Granite Basher and I have owned it for 2 years but im getting fed up with it, my local rc shop doesn't stock the parts even tho they sell the truck and everytime I go out be it on road or offroad I always end up with a problem. So I want to start over and build an rc. My question to guy/girls is what's the best kit I can get for under
  8. Turns out the esc was at fault, I contacted the guys at hobbywing and they have sent me a whole new set up. Must have been dodgy from the start because the new set up hits 40mph compared to 25 on the old set up. Cheers for the help tho guys
  9. Tried that as well still no good, thanks anyway mate
  10. Thanks mate, Iv done a factory restore, standard restore that the suppliers gave to me. I'm from Cornwall uk, I have one shop near me but every time Iv taken it in the guys been completly useless and considering he sold me the rc I thought he would be the guy to go to. Might have to bite the bullet once again and upgrade the esc and motor again for the 2nd time this year. Buy cheap by twice I know but this set up still cost
  11. Checked that mate its on 0% tried all the different settings and still the same makes no sense because that was my first thought, any other ideas?
  12. Anyway I can test my esc or get it tested? Save me a few quid
  13. Nope just the motor gets hot, my main problem is that the motor won't let the car just free roll after I back throttle off, it used to just roll after backing off throttle now it just slams the break on. Gearing has nothing to do with it as its been running fine, it's literally as if the brake is constantly on for no reason, Iv got a programme card reset to factory still no good, turned brake off still comes on, can't get my head around it
