Had the older 783 models for about 15 years. The motors are wearing out. Where do I get them? Been to Vornado and they don't speak English.

I would call them. They are in Andover, KS. You'll find most Kansans speak English quite well, and only down in the south do you start to pick up a drawl. http://www.vornado.com/product-support/support/contact_us.aspx

I saw some older versions at Bed Bath and Beyond. Try eBay as well. I found a cheaper 783 on eBay.

As an additional thought, you can contact Graco in Minneapolis, MN. They have an international presence, and can probably supply an autovolt motor unit. Good luck!

Amazon is selling the old models separate from the new models (at lower prices), and you posted your question to the forum of one of the 2007 models. The new versions are here:

Mamba max motor and esc, upgraded gearing, etc. Google is your friend there.

to M Ford.....did you find one? We are in the same camp as you....this is the only model worth buying. It is flagged on the LitterMaid site as 'best seller' and now I am being told that it is discontinued, but the crappy blue/white ones are still being sold. this makes no sense! Anyone know where I can get one of the all-beige LM900s?

For the maintenance book, try contacting customer service at www.poulanpro.com. They also have a list of dealers and service professionals.

Just "chatted" with Longevity and they don't know if the units on Amazon are the updated models or not. Also, they don't sell the wire feed carriers to update it yourself! So to me that says they don't have parts available to service the machine if it breaks and are not too concerned about you getting their best product!! They may be a decent company, but their products are still made in China from Chinese manufactured parts, so warrenty issues will be a problem. Probably best to stick to American made units even if some of the innards are out sourced IMHO!

I have had the same issue. Unable to find replacement cars. It is a shame. It is a great track system but the cars are poorly manufactured. If you have any luck finding them please let us know.

It seems like spare parts are much more abundant for the v911. I have already broken my fly bar and am awaiting a replacement from china that I bought on eBay. You may have to look on eBay for batteries as well. After just now doing a quick search, I found one (just one) for $9. Not a very good deal compared with what you can find for the v911. My f3 is a ton of fun, but I'm seriously considering a v911 at this point, for comparison purposes, as well as cheap repairs.

Hard to fund currently, as they were discontinued because of poor design/quality. Try ebay if you really need one, but do not expect it to work.

James; The only place I can think of is the manufacturer, look them up on the net. Even if they sold you one it would probably cost nearly as much as the whole unit. Coincidence!! I used to work for Jevic Transportation in Willingboro and Delanco before I retired. Rich

Traxxas sent out a replacement driveshaft. Broke on first battery. Their suggestion was to upgrade the driveshafts to metal. The hobby shop took care of the motor and speed controller. If they hadn't I would've been out $100, half the cost of a new one through traxxas.

I found the website of the fella I got mine from. He has a few Model 25s for $100-$150.http://www.thetexasantiquetoycollector.com/links.html

I have a standing order with Amazon to provide replacements. You can order anytime with Amazon and get fast response on the parts. Haven't tried to find a local outlet since I left San Diego years ago.

Just call or send airlift and email. They have great customer service, most likely they will send you new ones at no charge. Make sure you register your warranty online before you contact them about your problem, otherwise you'll be paying for the parts for sure! Hope this helps you.
