Thanks Mark, just noticed we are both in Oz. can you recommend anybody local that has a good rep and fast post for this stuff? I'm out west.

The only weakness I have found with my DF 01 is the spur and yes, best for another thread as Ive already hijacked this one. So will P/N #53925 do the trick to run a 5.5T reliably on a jumping DI runner or do I need more bits? For some reason I like eBay for stuff like this rather than online shops with little accountability and no viewable reputation to worry about.

Thanks, yes just been browsing TamiyaShop downunder for some parts. Seems slipper is a must and the hardened shaft as well hey? Anything else to recommend? Obviously I'd rather avoid expensive repairs and heatache and build this thing right. Today I stripped the spur gear in my Blazing Star and its not the price, its finding the standard replacement!! Thanks heaps for your help

Thanks mate, so the 'slipper' is an add-on as well? Might invest in those box upgrades pronto. Could you PM any links to Tamiya, five star or eBay (or post if allowed) to steer me in the right direction? Would rather genuine parts but if 'five star' are okay I will have a look. Sorry been out of the RC game for a while.. Thanks once again for the prompt reply

Hi guys, stripped the spur gear this morning. Cant seem to find any standard ones on feebay (but I'm not sure how many teeth a stocky has). Seems to be the only part in the Blazing Star manual without a P/N as well... PM with a link to an eBay auction or site? If a member has one, I'd prefer express post from somebody in Oz. Kind of want it soonish. Can PayPal or bank deposit.

Cheers Percy. This has probably been asked before but will the standard DI gearbox(es) handle a 9T or even a 5.5T EZRun?

Thanks for that percy, but I have heard a couple of times now the BNIB kit has bearings included. I am yet to open mine and have a look. Although new to the forum, I am not new to RC or Tamiya. I might still be wrong about the bearings, or perhaps it was an Australia thing? Not really sure. Getting off topic a bit. So apart from the motor Percy, what would you recommend upgarding on the DI? Is the DF03 generally considered a good chassis?

Hi guys, first post here also. I thought the DI was already ball-raced? I wanted to know the exact same thing as the OP and was looking at the EZRUN 9T. Any thought would be appreciated. Have the recently purchased DI in box and my first RC since Blazing star when I was in my 20s lol.
