If you stare at it long enough, the body starts to look cool . It does look like a high quality buggy.

I got this body and it clearly says on it Parma Brandwood and then 1539. I wrote Brandwood down awhile back from a thread on here that a Brandwood fits a Turbo Scorpion. This was sold as "fitting RC-10 type buggies." Would it fit a Turbo Scorpion? It seems too big, but it may fit over the ...

Is there a modern replacement for the small black screw that goes in the collar of Kyosho gold and Kyosho platinum shocks? Actually, my collars seem to have two types of screws (one wider than than the other). I always try to match sets of 4 shocks with the same screw (skinny or thicker). I can clea...

Thanks RichieRich!

Lowgear, that's the same situation I'm in now. I did like to post and I had a few good pms with helpful posts from members.

I sent a pm, thanks for any help RichieRich.

Thanks Losiman. Yes, I have a stock Fox that I was building to be a runner. It is in really nice shape and should go well with the new Hot Trick find.

I forgot - here is where the trophy will sit.

One nice aspect of the parts I already have is that this is the UL (ultra light) kit and I have a SD (super duty) chassis already. I’ll take comparison picks and weigh them. There is a big weight difference I can tell.

One more shot
