Those bits are called "Gear Salad".

Go on the Arrma home page and look up your exploded view of your rig for the part numbers.

That’s no Arrma, notice the 0808 motor, it’s a small scale RC.

Good eyeball!

@Harlow123 What is that thing?

For whatever this thing is, I don’t think you will be able to find parts for it. The self-tapping screws are the sign of a toy-grade, vintage RC, or cheap hobby-grade.

Eh, not necessarily. Tons of modern and high-quality touring class, drift class, trans-am class 1/10 and small scale stuff use that kind of hardware. They are just built to be raced on a track, not bashed or sent to the moon.

That said, judging by the model name "16889" and a quick Googly, this is either a Bangood or Amazon special. But, there are spare parts for most of they stuff, even if they are a little hard to find.
