Drove my Lunchbox into a rock

Yep as the title says :roll: but now I have got a problem, I broke the left side steering axle. :( Also found out that the rear wheel adapters are cracked. I have been trying to find replacements but up here in Canada for some reason it is hard to find. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I believe the steering axle is the same part as the Grass Hopper / Hornet so that should be easy , not sure if the wheel adapter is the same pattern as the Grass Hopper as well but it may be .

Thanks for the info I will try my lhs, it is just for some reason difficult to find parts here. Is there anywhere a person could find aluminum parts for these awesome trucks.

Found the parts (original Tamiya) I needed by cross referencing them with other Tamiya models on my lhs 's website.

Parts ordered should be in next week, so happy . But got another question what are the steering arms (white plastic looking part) made of. J B qiuck weld does not adhere to it very well.
