A bit hard for my old eyes to tell looking at the pics and not having my Typhon nearby to reference but I'm guessing front driveshaft and bulkhead might be all you need along with some screws maybe and odds and ends you can grab from Jenny's as mentioned above.

I think he broke the chassis too.
 
Yard sale! About $80 for the ESC and motor, $20 for the body, $20 for the shocks... you're halfway to a new buggy! :)
 
We call that a Dilly Special.
As good as breaking stuff as I am, I’m not THIS good! ?

Anyways, that’s just a chassis and a tower. While you are swapping everything over to a new chassis, here’s what I would upgrade while you’re at it:

Rubber sealed bearings
Hot Racing steering rack
Hot Racing c-block
Hot Racing hubs (front & rear)
Hot Racing pivot balls
Typhon 6S shocks
Arrma adjustable motor mount
Arrma steel spur
 
thanks for the input guy's.
Tonight I will take the exploded view and chek everything out piece by piece.
I almost said F&#* it and just buy the mojave instead... But I rather have a fun project on my hand and keep playing with my Notorious.
To be honest, the typhon with 2.8 tires is really fun, like a new car fun. Not as quick but in the fun factor is a huge plus
 
Got a better look tonight. all in all I might need a new base and a few other components such as the servo arms and such. Roughly a 70$ bill...
Plus my time to repair this fiasco.

Here are a few more pics of my carnage...

For that price, might as well just purchase a new one and keep the parts of this guy for backup.
Or I could just buy a Mega and swap all the parts , it would be even cheaper

Now there's a novel idea @jondilly1974, keeping it mostly stock and enjoying it for what it is. How come we didn't think of that??
 
120$ US, shipped to canada...
I got a bit more so I have some spare parts such as Arms and bolts.
I can't get the main driveshaft anywhere...
I'll check at my LHS

EDIT: if its the centre driveshaft you need.. Its Arrma partnumber: AR310884
This driveshaft is used in all of the 3s models.. So it doesn't matter from wich 3s truck Jenny's took it!

EDIT 2:
https://jennysrc.com/collections/ar...slider-driveshafts-lwb-big-rock-crew-ar102668

Take the senton one.. Its in stock and will fit!
