    Maybe this has already been answered. But I'm looking to get a few replacement parts for my Rev 3.3 truck. Can't see where to buy on the traxxas site. Is it only through resellers? Also will Greenes be able to sort me out with a few things? Cheers.

    Get a pull start? No battery to be charged except for a glow starter. Lighter aswel and less things to wrong.

    Green Hobby & Model in Harolds Cross regularly service, tune and work on all makes of RC car .
    but they won't order parts for a make that they don't sell or support.
    (They do have all the generic parts that fit most makes, like eg CEN)

    So they will service it, fix it, tune it, and fit the parts they sell, and also fit any special parts you provide.

    So if you broke a Traxxas specific part that Green Hobby don't keep in stock and you want Green Hobby to install that piece for you as part of eg a service - you would have to get the part yourself and hand it to them at the same time as the model.

    Not that many really.
    There of course some Traxxas owners dotted around.
    It was decided two years ago that Traxxas is not economically viable in Ireland.
    About 12 months ago that was reconsidered (I reported it here) and the view was nothing had changed.
