Ordered the parts on express delivery.
Separating them is no Ionger an option, tried acetone then got a bit too heavy handed!!

Anyone know where I can get these 4 rear diff parts in a hurry (UK)?
I was obsessed with the fact I had to use glue (not seen that on the previous 10 or so cars I've built) and missed the bearings that go on first. Schoolboy error, I know!!
I've found the parts bag for £50 on eBay. Problem is, delivery is 4th Jan. I go back to work on the 5th and this was meant to be my build while I’m off :-(
If anyone knows how I can get these parts in the next couple of days I would appreciate it. Cost is not a problem, just need them!
I could cry 😭

Don't suppose anyone has one of the A13 parts as per below laying around? Holding my FAV restoration up :-(
Thanks,

Thanks a million

Has anyone got one of these they can sell? Not to fussed on colour, just to get a basher back on the road.
Many thanks

Hey, I’m pretty sure I have these, I’ll check tomorrow and come back to you. Are you in UK? If I do have them I’m happy to send to you at cost (from France).
Hi,
That would be awesome. If you have them I will do a transfer for postage and a bit for your help.
Much appreciated.
Thanks,
Cliff.

I don't know where you can get yellow ones, but in black they are one the D-Parts tree of the 2018 Manta Ray. Part number is 10005378. I guess that the size is similar to the Bear Hawk dampers. But this should be maybe confirmed by someone else.
If you need yellow ones, I think you have to search for used parts.
Thanks,
It's the red ones I am after, I should have made it more clear. Literally just the little collars with the screw.
Got a feeling I am not going to get them.
Cheers

Restoring the Bear Hawk and broke a couple of the adjustable damper spacers that have the screw in them, was removing to clean and the plastic just perished. 30 year old plastic I guess.
Does anyone know if this part is still available or a suitable alternative?
Thanks

Is it the occasional popping/clicking noise? Then the diff gears are slipping. You might want to try sticky anti-wear grease on the diff. It cannot solve the problem by itself, but it could help.
I would also make sure the 3 bevel gears face the correct side. While I don't think it should make a big difference, I still follow the picture on the manual. The peg side faces up, the diff spur next, and then 3 bevel gears. All on that side of the aluminum plate. While you are at it, see if the pinion on the motor has the worm gear seated squarely on the cut side of the motor shaft.
Before drive cups are installed, try to move the diff gears from left and right with a screw driver or a pencil to see if there is any slop. Who knows, bearing supplier might have shipped thinner bearings. If there is slop, you can use shims to reduce it. Brat isn't really known for diff slip, because it's got much smaller tires. Compared to Blackfoot or Monster Beetle, the diff has to spin faster. That means less torque from the tires to mess it up. A lot of times when I'm messing with something new, I take off and rebuild it, and the problem is solved. Half the times I don't even know why.
Thanks for that. Plenty to look for tomorrow when I try again!

Just the one side that has worn? Looks like a building error tbh
Not sure how I would miss it twice!
Re-building tomorrow, will give it a little more respect this time round!

+1 must check the fit and assembly... sometimes you have to assemble, disassemble, and reassemble those gearboxes at least a few times, playing around with spacers (bending things if necessary) until the gearbox is solid and smooth. And pay close attention to which direction the manual says to install things. It might not seem like it makes a difference, but it does.
I have the replacement parts so will go again tomorrow. Maybe I AM missing something.
Something is certainly not right for it to happen twice in a row.
I searched for a video last time but couldn't find anything!

Alu side plate flexing is the usual problem , not as fast as this potentially . Not making a judgement here but are all required components fitted into the gearbox ? . All components fitted in correct order and the right way round ? .
Yeah, correct, present and pretty tight in there. Its really bizarre. The gearbox is horrible to assemble, not a fan third time round!

I was hoping someone could shed some light on this problem.
On my second set of diff gears. They just seem to strip within five minutes. Not had this issue with ANY of my other cars.
I knew these (second set) were going to go within 60 seconds, so I deliberately just helped them along to make sure the problem was blatantly obvious when I opened up the gear box.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks,

The forum hasn't let me down yet when trying to source a part. Struggling to find anyone with stock of the below so thought I would try my luck.
To that end, has anybody got a spare one of these?
-
1 minute ago, Tamiyabigstuff said:
OK, think I've found the right part - the length of the pin is about 12mm, overall length including the head is about 14mm - is that correct ?
I would imagine that's it, I think you either get the long one (much longer) or this short one.
Let me know what you want for it plus postage and I can send via Paypal. Drop me a PM.
Appreciate that, thanks.

Might have one spare.
What kit is it for ?
That's great, its for the Astute.
I can find the longer one which I could probably cut down, but would prefer the actual screw if I can get hold of one.
Thanks,
-
Anyone know where I can get one of these? Or the whole screw bag if needed.
Thanks,

Had a look but no joy...wow do I have a lot of spare gears !
Tamiya P/N is 50453 - £11.95 posted from ebay for the full gear set - I'd grab 1 if I were you.
Thanks for that, couldn’t find one anywhere.
Ordered those.

Stood talking to my neighbour yesterday who was holding a little plastic gear. Asked to see it as it looked familiar. Turns out its the (now driven over several times) spur gear from my Stadium Thunder which had a disagreement with a set kerb a couple weeks ago.
I thought I had bought or been given (kind members on here) everything I needed to get her back up and running.
So, does anyone have a spur gear for the Stadium Thunder/Blitzer Beetle for sale?
Thanks,
Cliff.

Always use ‘Satin‘ varnish for that shiny gloss look on the vintage Bear Hawks body you have been sanding and painting all week!

Don't suppose anyone has an MD5 knocking about? Came loose on the Top-Forces maiden voyage and no chance of finding it. Still not sure how it came loose to be honest!
