I sent you a PM.


Also an update:
I really need to finish this project. Currently its disassembled in a box. I decided the best thing to do would be to just wait for a NIB one to come up on eBay. The problem is none have come up. Not even any in excellent condition. So it looks like I'll have to continue restoring mine.

I think you owe it to yourself to take apart the other gearboxes you have .

[Lowgear]

After much pondering, I have come to the conclusion that the gearboxes in these were designed by sadists.

[EvolutionRevolution]

Perhaps some of the axles are bent? (Ball)Bearings okay?

Have you tried shimming the gearbox halves (not the gears, where the gearbox halves screw together)?

[Lowgear]

I used all new parts and it still didn't make a difference. I never thought of shimming the gearbox halves. That might work but I'd be afraid it would leave a space between them. What I ultimately decided to do was buy a parts car for its gearbox. Now I just have to find the time (motivation?) to put it in and finish the rest of the restoration.

hey there were a few these on ebay last month or so 1 was for parts

[Lowgear]

Yeah I know. I have a list of search terms I run through multiple times everyday which includes Kangaroo. One of those was basically NIB. I wish I could have bought it but didn't have the funds at the time. What I've learned in the nearly year and a half since I started this project is that Kangaroos show up for sale on eBay more frequently than I expected. The other three models Aristo-Craft produced you can forget about it.

From what I have seen Aristo Craft made some pretty cool stuff in there time. Here is an ad for 3 Aristo Craft RC cars.

you guys forgot my fav.....Aristocraft Hitec..... Wildebeest!!!!! id really like to have one 4x4 chain drive http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=6664&id=37

[Lowgear]

Haha yeah I'd love to have one as well. The name definitely fits it.

I also have a pretty mint Dolphin.

[V12]

When was this Dolphin sold?
Same for the Aristo-Craft Hitec 2040R ESC used with this car. Was this before the car?

[Lowgear]

Thats a good question, I've never gone so far as to find out when Aristo-Craft's four vehicles were released.

If you read between the lines, what he was really doing is...flogging the Dolphin.
