2WD RTR Monster Truck Shootout – Parts Availability
Parts Availability
Everyone breaks something eventually. Your shiny new truck is going to click something, have a band landing, or maybe even find itself driving head on full speed into a brick wall. (You’d be surprised how often that happens around here!) So when the time comes, what vehicles will be easy to get parts for and what ones are going to be trouble? As you may have seen in some of our reviews, not being able to get your hands on parts can be pretty frustrating. Some people can’t just go use another vehicle, and if you only have one, and it’s sitting on a work bench collecting dust because you can’t get parts, you are not going to be happy.
1) Stampede
2) Granite
3) Ruckus
Notes:
Stampede – You can probably walk into any hobby shop on the planet and find your Stampede parts. If for some reason your local hobby shop did not have the parts you need, anything and everything is available at several bigger online stores. (Tower Hobbies, Horizon Hobby, A-Main, etc..)
Granite You probably aren’t going to find any ARRMA Granite parts at your local hobby shop. We did though find replacement parts for everything online and in stock at several online shops.
Ruckus At the time of this writing, several Ruckus parts were out of stock and on back order. These were the same big stores we checked the other vehicles at. While it’s probably just a matter of time before they are back in stock, bashers don’t like to wait, so the Ruckus gets bumped to third.
We don’t want to break the bank, so time to check the Price.
