Default Where do you guys get spares

Hi
I'm thinking of dusting off my vintage cougar for my young son. It needs new pulleys and belt as its slipping and if I get it running I'm sure it won't be long before I need spare wishbones etc. How do you guys get hold of spares and would I be better getting the boy something newer I can get spares for easier?
Rich

all I can suggest is ebay or google the name or the part number of what your looking for or google hobby shops and model shops and ring them up 1 by 1,

if you dont have the manual for part numbers you should find it here:

or if your not fussed about getting the vintage one going then get a newer 1/10th car,
the associated b4 and durango 210 are in abundance and spares are easily available,
or you could get a 14th, the popular one at the moment is the losi mini 8ight and as the other 2, spares are everywhere and its built like a planes black box ( with a couple of upgrades that is )

Or post up here what you need as a few of us carry quite a few bits.

Is it the silver chassis'd cougar (Mk1)?

I'll have a look at what I have

Thanks. Yeah mk1 it was a topcat then upgraded to cougar then later to swept back front wishbones. It's seen some action a new top pulley and diff pulley would get me going as I've found the place in the us that people seem to use for replacements

Thanks
Rich

There is a complete cougar on the bay for £25 at the moment (bidding)

Could be good for a donor car!!
