Excellent thread and compilation for GAUI (special thanks to nexgen).

3weeks back i bought Gaui hurricane 425 basic kit from HK for $59.99 but later found my self stuck finding the spares for it That servo offset thing was also a PITA as i was unable to get that large JR wheels. I ordered 3 spektrum ds821 servos from some UK web store and one of them was DOA Now i am planning to use Hitec 422 deluxe servos that are lying around but am still stuck with the servo arms.

Man this Gaui is taking ages for its maiden

Hey wolf, since you're just around the corner lol, I'll send you some arms that have the offset properly set on them. they are JR spline so if your Hitecs will accept them then they are yours.

I can just drop them in an envelope if you want them

I have these servo's, are you talking about the big round wheels?
if so I could use them, mine have those four arm ones on them.

Default UPDATE

The parts manuals links in the first post are broken. here is a link to the Gaui page that has all the manuals that are still available. I figured rather than linking to them separately, I'd link direct to the site with all the manuals available.
