Desperate times call for desperate measures. Being that parts are backorder until late April, I decided to bootleg a repair. I had a hairline crack in my wheel hub, bought a mini clamp and some gorilla glue and hoping I can work some magic. Not sure if anyone ever tried this, let me know if anyone has had success.

Even called horizon hobby where it came from and complained and cried(for lack of better terms). Cried and complained even more in there review section. Which I'm pretty sure won't go up on there site. Left a pic with part and part #, if anyone is bored and want to help me find it.

Thanks in advance

No prob :D LOL it took me around 80 secs to find it.

I just want to see that wing installed. it sure looks sexy. the DBXL is definitely on my list

post a picture once it's done :)
 
That is an awesome wing kit. It's too far forward if you want to mount a spare tire on the cage.

Just wanted to say thanks again,

Both parts ordered. Had a problem with the site for the wing, everything wasn't translating to English. But my wife figured it out, and it should be on the way.

I tried on my break but I was using my phone and it wouldn't let me click which shipper or credit card info. I'll take care of it when I get home. But my wing is on its way.

haha! Ok! I might pick up a 5ive t basic Kit

needs engine, pipe, servos, battery, radio, tires, wheels and body

How much is that?
Click to expand...
I was leaning towards a full Losi, but then it hit me that I will end up modifying everything. the basic kit is 700Euros~ 980$

However, the engine and all the other accessories will end up costing around 2000$

I guess you have to fast in this hobby. Got home to place order, only for it to be out of stock. I can't win.
