I don't think he had any one member in mind... he was just letting you know that some folks here might have what you need.

I don't know why, but a lot of people cut on the Raider. IMO it WAY outclasses other cars of its same category...like the Hornet and GH. It had 4 wheel independent suspension! For sure, 4 wheel independant was a definate advantage. Throw some golds on there, and it probably would have done quite we...

Here are some better pics:

Hmm, that might sound like a good idea. I'll wait til I have this car in my hands before I let you know the answer on this.

Jay Dub: Thanks for the offer, I'll keep this in mind.

Sweet score, Ron!

Is it $200 with motor/esc etc, or is it for a roller only? $200 for a roller-only would be a bit steep. I bought my ZX5 FS for $150, plus another $100 for esc & motor. (although, that was a better/lower than average price) If it's $200 with the electronics, I'd say that's a pretty good price. It...

I won myself a kyosho raider on ebay today for the low low price of $30. (around $45 with shipping) It looks to be in pretty great shape. Comes with the lemans motor and MSC (I think) The body is a little rough, and missing the wing, but I am sure I can find a repro raider body out there somewhere. ...

I saw your post on offroadrc. Good score there, Ron.
Does the icarus share the same chassis as the pegasus?

Nice. One of my favs. I race a ZX5 FS.

I've had a few ZX5 SP's too. Best 4 wheel racers out there!

I can't take credit for that... it was painted by the guy I bought the car from. (all I did was add the black stripes)

I had a great summer of racing with my Sprint 2. I bought it off a racing buddy halfway through the summer, and have loved it ever since! I ran it in our GT2 class, which is brushless 21.5 TC class. I found the car to be very low maintenance ...no broken parts or any problems with it for the months ...

Who's going to be the first to give him "the link"?

Not sure if this helps, but I came across this in an old (2003) thread on another forum: Proline made onroad rims and tires that fit pan cars, you'll need to raise the body or enlarge the wheel wells by 1/2 inch or more. Advanced Designs, C&M Mfg, TRC made adapter for offroad vehicles to use pan...

Cool, thanks Rich. I'll post something in the wanted section.

I scored a set of Kyosho Gold shocks from a buddy of mine, and was thinking of using them on my Ultima, however, the rear shocks on the vanilla Ultima are very short... just a few cm longer than the fronts. If I want to use the 'standard' golds on the back, do I need to buy/make a taller shock tower...
