( Please Note: ) It's very common for us to find that your RC has been modified with other manufacturer's parts. If this is the case, we do our best to either find the correct "stock" parts, or we try and identify the current parts and repair with only compatible parts. It should also be noted, that many of the small 1/12 scale and smaller RCs sometimes are not supported by the manufactures with replacement parts, so we do our best to let you know ahead of time if the work needed can be done at all.
