Them Gens Ace are good Batterys and you can get them in 3S .and 4S as well . Perth RC has them , but i'm sure most hobby shops in Aus would . What ya going to put it in Re-Bugged
-

84252 Part number M8 . Just googled it and it come's up with the wheels . Also Stellamodels have them US$6.13 https://www.stellamodels.com.hk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=84252 84240 stock out for stellamodels

Thrust bearing's are different . Gbox you put 1150 in and on the out side you can put 850 bearing in , b4 the out drive and E-Clip . That helps , but not needed . O ring will slow things and bind it up and should not be needed at all .
-
OMG!! Yep . Had that many times ,so i bid 30's b4 and i get sniped . Or i do it and it don't go , just sit's there thinking about it . It's always the way , the stuff you don't really need you get , but the stuff you need to have , you lose or old age come's into play and you forget < done that many time's . O-well that's the way it is , ya win and ya lose some .
-
Don't you hate that , when you really want it as well Grrrrr ... I have done that many times , even got wrong day , let alone time ....

The 4wd output shalft has the thrust bearing as does the front Gbox . In between the prop shalft . They did come with plastic bush with washer on each side . Or owner can upgrade it to metal thrust bearing .

Falcon#5 Build Thread - Re-re Hornet
matman replied to Falcon#5's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
Gee , feel old now . Times have changed , when things were simple back then . -
May need Pic's of inside Gbox . All bearing / thrustwasher in ? . Do you have Ball bearing's in ? Or plastic bearing's ?. As plastic bearing had a washer i think from memory , B4 you put C-Clip / E-Clip .as with thrust bearing , had plastic and two washers either side of the plastic bering/spacer < depends on what you call it . I'm not home at the moment ( Australia ) i have had to head to New Zealand sadly . So i can't look at manuals etc .

Well you need to put E-Clips in front and rear Gbox's . Put in motor in rear and run the rear only and see if it clicks . Hold prop shalft or sort ( to put load on ) and see if it clicks , if not , it's the front . If it does it's the rear . You may have grain of sand in cog or pinion , of prop shalft rubbing ? On some thing , wheels rubbing on some thing ? Also spin rear wheel , with hand both ways , see if it clicks , do rear and front wheels . You may have damaged some thing when you didn't put the E-clips in the 1st time ? .
-
Now , if you replaced the G-Parts , DID you use Vintage Gbox parts ? Or did you get the re re G-Parts ?? As the vintage has C-Clips to hold the Gbox drive cups AND Thre rere Has E-Clip to hold the Gbox drive cups . The rere G-Parts had relief where the 1150 bearings go , to allow for the E-Clip , The Vintage didn't need this .

Vintage Boomerang restore help (Hotshot/Thundershot)
matman replied to boomer22's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
RERE boomerang has all the same Plastic parts almost , Now dog bones , out drives , wheel axles are different . Vintage are bigger , rere are smaller DF03 and 02 unis fit the rere out drives ( the one's the go into gear box's ) NOW , If you need to replace G-Parts ( gearbox parts ) The re re is different slightly , the 1150 bearings go in more as it RECESSED , there the out drives go , AS this has E-Clips ..... Vintage has C-Clips so no recess needed . Rere stuff will fit on vintage , some look different to sute this era . Pivot balls are hex and steel , Vintage are crome , alloy . USE Tamiya grease in gearboxs , don't need much . -
I'm sure with that statement your talking about RC's cars And not us running . Have you been running anything rc ?. Then again , I do have my losi 2.0 miniT with me . As i have had to go to New Zealand and i have been in ISO for about week and a bit , get out on sunday 21st june , then fly to Napier . Not sure how long i'm here for . Maybe two weeks or three weeks , then head back to Aus . Then ISO again for two weeks . But hope i can do it at home , but that won't happen , as Plane flys into Melbourne then to Perth the next day i think . Sadly Mum passed away on the 3 june and i could not get there in time , as you would know ( Covid stuff ) . Cancer got worse and just like that gone ... So i will be away for some time , so guys rc away if you can .
-
Me , no . Would be great some time again ..

The 86 boomerang has bigger out drives and dog bones and wheel axle's , So if you want to put DT03 Cvd's you need the out drives ( gearbox side ) , Use the C-clips on OLD gearbox's , If you use RE RE Gearbox ( G parts tree ) you need to use the E-clip on re re gearbox's . Yep , get too set's on that Ebay page , they will fit great .
