Where to get parts?

[terrabit]

I live in Seattle. Parts are scarce here. I've had to resort to ordering from Canada for God's sake! I've got nothing against Canadians. (Accept maybe the Mounted Po Po's and the exchange rate and maybe that whole olympic figure skating fiasco from a few years ago, oh, and the way they talk and dress and this whole superiority attitude towards white trash, trailer park, rejects like myself - okay, maybe they're on to something there, but just the same) There must be a better way!

Where are you guys getting parts? Esprit seems to be the best site, but they're out of stock on too many parts that should be readily available. "Out of stock", "Choose a lower quantity" - THAN 1! Whatever!

Throw me a fricking bone here people. I've lost enough hair already!

Thanks!

Holy cow John, I am one of those Canadians:(:oops:.

At any rate, fxaeromodels, modefos, espirit, aeromodels, and yes the crazy canadian store rcflightstore.com. Our dollar is a little less than you now so the rate should be pretty much even.

Dude, Rush rules! Got nothin but love for ya, my brutha-from-anutha-mutha up north.

I've been getting stuff from rcflightstore. Ken there, has been quite accomodating. I'll give the others you mentioned a little look see.

Much obliged!

Sir Shawn, thou art indeed a friend! I was attempting to elicit a smile. Did it work?

Where do I get the counter bearing upgrade for 5mm motor shafts #4134 from? None of these shops list it. :(

This part comes with the 600 kit, not the 500 kit and is not required for 6-8S on the 500 kit. It will be offered as a seperate part soon I am told.

Can't speak for Sir Shawn - but you were killin' me! :YeaBaby:

And yeah, I think our Canadian brethren are swell. Ya gotta love what they've done with bacon (and comedy).

What?? Dammit, mine didn't come with it! :( The manual shows this as an optional part, not included? Btw looks like it only takes M3 bolts however the Neu only takes M4, so just drill out to 4mm holes I guess?

Yes it should have been in your kit, get ahold of your vendor. In regards to fitting the NEU yes just drill it out not a big deal at all, that is what I did with my one 600 that I have a 1912(H)-1Y in. BTW with the NEU you do not really "need" the counter bearing but it is nice to have the extra support.
