Hi, I’ve been rebuilding my sons Carnage (he breaks it a lot!) and things are beginning to get pricey! Does anybody know of any websites that sell parts that fit the Carnage but maybe are non genuine but cheaper? He likes upgrading to the flashy aluminium parts. Also looking for replacement shells, but can only find either the basic 4 or so that you can pick up from model sport, or the paint and cut your own ones . Any idea if there are any interesting shells that fit without modifying them? cheers,

Thanks for this little tip. We’ll do exactly as you suggest.

Hi people, Wondered if someone could advise me please. I brought for my 9 year old son a FTX Carnage brushed truggie for his birthday last year. He loves thrashing it around our local woods and BMX track. And loves it even more when it gets broken and he gets to fix it! So far he’s replaced several parts including wheels, front shocks, body posts a couple of pinion and spur gears and that’s not to mention the various aluminium upgrades! Now he’s about to embark on his biggest upgrade. He’s asked for a brushless motor and ESC for his birthday which I’ve ordered from Model Sport - https://www.modelsport.co.uk/smd-1-10th-scale-brushless-45a-esc-with-3100kv-sensorless-motor/rc-car-products/425929 They tell me this should be an easy drop in install. Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Is it that easy or is there other set up things that will need to be done? Just so you know I’ve also ordered him a new (RW) harder wearing pinion and spur gear. For some reason the stock (FTX) ones seem to strip easily from the grit kicked up off the track. Please bare in mind he’s s only 9 and gets minimal input from me as he likes to do these things himself! If I’m honest I normally tweak things when he’s asleep so he thinks it’s all him but I’m not technically minded at all. He probably knows more than me!!! Thanks for any advice.
