Stupid cheap hobby grade rcs from Jegs.

Heads up, I have located the spur gear that should fit the Jegs Holeshot and Stinger. I grabbed a couple, will check fitment when they arrive.

It does appear CEN made them for Jegs, should be interesting to see what becomes available down the road. They have been so popular I wonder if CEN will make them again.

Wish there was a metal option. Plastic spurs and I have a bad track history bought an 80a max10g2 combo for mine to run on 2s so maybe it won’t shred the spur.

Looks awesome! Have any breakages yet? I noticed the spur gears are out of stock, I wonder if some of the Kimbrough spurs will work.

The spur appears to be a match. The slipper ring almost seems like plastic.. Might need a couple spares...

The motor screws needed tightening and I thought the pinion mounting was interesting.

I wonder how close the arrma 3s pads would be to fitting it. I really need to get mine out this weekend and work on it.

From what I can tell I don't think so.

Too big.

Team Associated DR10 slipper pads might work though.

I want to find or make a plug for the spur gear cover.

Interior hole diameter the same?

Interior hole diameter the same?

Negative, I didn't measure it but it was a bit bigger, like the difference between a nickel and a quarter.

In case anyone wants them these are all the parts for the Geneva https://banzaihobby.com/G-Force-GSP031#/dffullscreen/query=g-force genova&query_name=match_and I cannot find a manual for it though.

Got tired of the rear hinge pin backing out so my solution I cut the threads off the stock hinge pins, stuck the pins through then captured them with a couple of M4 countersunk screws. Bam no more rear hinge pins backing out.

This did not work, not sure if I cut the pins to short or if they are not captured on the other side, I need to investigate further.

So this is basically a G-Force Genova? Made in Taiwan?

Yes it does have some parts that are specific to the Holeshot though. The Genova is made in Japan. I don't know where these were made. It does not say anywhere on the box or in the manual.

And Banzai no longer carries the Geforce parts................

G-Force/Genova is a Japanese company.
Just outsourced to Taiwan.
I searched AMZ, and the Genova is not there. However all the alloy upgrade parts are available on AMZ . Very very expensive also, IMHO. Seems any Japanese RC brand is always expensive. Probably because of the Japanese money exchange Rates? Always seemed that way over the years, to me at least.
Japan's Domestic mfr'ing is known for best quality in general.

You can only find the cars on eBay. Yup extremely expensive.

Like $224 shipped not a bad price.

On a side note..... I think that the Vendetta sale, was a knee jerk response to the Rlarrlo gaining steam?

 

[slick2500]

Well shoot.

Can you cut new ones with some fresh stock?

Yeah I'm sure I could.

 

[slick2500]

Well I decided rather that trying to find some stock that was the appropriate size I would just order the suspension kit from Japan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZVLDQQX?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details should be here by the 18th.

-edit- Also found the parts on Bonzai Hobbies again https://banzaihobby.com/collections/g-force-2

 

[slick2500]

Well that didn't take long at all.

In case anyone wants to know the rear hinge pins are 50.5mm x 3mm.

 

[aw73]

anyone know if the team associated rc10t4 arms will fit on the holeshot? my friend keeps breaking the stock arms.
