Radioshack will sell replacement parts.
 
This info comes from CJ over at the xmods yahoo group. They do have the Skyline part numbers listed, and more to come...including bodies. Hopefully, he will post them in his FAQ soon.

That is some real good news.:D
$8 bucks for a replacement body aint to shabby.

Rotary Freak 11-13-2003 10:26 PM

Thank God. (I believe you all knew my situation)

richh 11-13-2003 11:15 PM

seems like 2.49 is a favorite number of someone:D

CtrlAltDel 11-13-2003 11:59 PM

sweet! i would love to pick up another full stock body for my skyline!

viperkilla 11-14-2003 05:23 PM

Thanks for the info Bad Company. Have any idea when we will see them in stores and the price?

Bad Company 11-14-2003 08:05 PM

From what I heard, they will be special order only, either ordered at a store or the 800 line.

Ahhh! That sucks then. Don't you need a credit card to order from the 1800 line? Too bad I dont have a credit card.

Either a credit card or debit card. You could go into your local RS and order the parts I believe.

kasper01001 11-14-2003 11:49 PM

neurokinetik 11-15-2003 01:26 AM

We need to have an exploded view showing all of the part numbers. Because some of the parts descriptions aren't all that clear.

For example, what is the "dumper assembly"?

oOfrog_BoyOo 11-15-2003 01:32 PM

I would like to know what the servo assy will be

MaxxThrasher 11-15-2003 02:59 PM

That's good to know. Is there a link to the parts that will be available?

I broke the bottom stud on my front spindle. It would be nice to have a replacement. For now I just drilled out the old stud and machined a new on out of a piece of an old T-Maxx susspension arm. So far it's holding up, but would rather have the options of a replacement. Besides, new bodies would be great!

I also would like an exploded view of the whole car, it would be helpfull in totally disassembling it and putting it back together.;)

cj1267 11-15-2003 09:06 PM

I have all the known parts at this time in my Xmods FAQ. As for availability get the list of numbers you want to order and got to your local store and tell them you want to place a R S U order and give them the numbers of the items you want. Their computer will tell you what is available just before they take your money.

CJ, You RS guys are really making it hard on me. I still have to buy hop ups for my Emaxx, and now yall go and make it possible to buy extra bodies! I thought I was through after I got the blue Civic and completed my collection. Thanks a lot! :D

viperkilla 11-15-2003 09:43 PM

LOL. I guess you are going to be busy modding.

SKYHIGH 11-16-2003 01:58 AM

I'm not here to disagree but the man at my rs said he didn't know anything about replacement parts and ill know when there is. If it is on a site can you post the url please cuz I am is desperate need of a new body.

They are starting to call my skyline the demolition derby winner of all xmods .... yes it is really that bad

SKYHIGH 11-16-2003 08:04 PM

now its a lil faster than before I finished the 5th cell in the rear bumper , it is a lil wider now and wasn't easy getting the bumper on. I got over half dead batteries in it and its already faster than when the batteries were full before....I also trimmed a few pieces off that I wouldn't need like the screw pillars for the light kit

kasper01001 11-16-2003 09:43 PM

I really need this part, if not I may have to go and buy the AWD upgrade, i really don't wanna do that! :rolleyes: I also wanna get a new chassis so I can paint it to wateva, put a AAA mod on it, extra LED lights, and maybe a front bumper mounted flood lights!!!!

The part I made is still holding up strong. Has been for a week now and I drive on a concrete driveway.

For a cheap, quick fix just dremel off the broken part and make a new one out of any strong type of plastic you can find. Drill out a the old stud and insert the new part and CA glue into place.

||
| |<~~~~This is the shape of the new part I made.
| |
The bottom part is the same diameter of the old stud, the small end at the top is a pilot diameter that I insterted in the hole I drilled out and CA glued into place. I also drilled out the end and screwed the screw in to place, but if you leave it a little bit long I see no need for the screw. I have since taken the screw back out and haven't had any problems with the stud poping out or the A arm.

Wish I had taken pics of the progress to better explain.
