Just picked this up. Looks like full Hot Trick.

The original was better in a few places, unfortunately they are key areas. the aluminum screws are poor, ie, not really aircraft screws, some cheap facsimile. So swap them out for something better. the transmission has issues with a poor idler/case tolerance and poor quality control on the top shaft...

no, bulkhead is about the same overall. they adjusted the battery box however to fit a lipo, basically trimmed the bottom off. the silver springs have been around forever, standard kit parts, no real change there. the metal is extremely close to the originals as well as the plastics, so it's probabl...

Really cool build!!! I also still have a set of chrome HPI Super Stars left. Those are my all time favorite wheels Yeah, they always did look great, and nice to be able to use some of my original parts from back then on this build. Otherwise they would just be sat in my spares box forever more, whi...

Some update (almost there!): - I need a shorty battery - I need a soldering iron to install the original motor that I still need to clean (surface rust) - the right rear wheel is locked, I need to check the transmission, never seen this before - I need to acquire a Protech I body and paint it! https...

Congratulations on Car of the month and an awesome finish on the buggy!

The originals are going to be hard to find now as the source is drying up. You can use alternative ones from associated and run a nut behind the ball to approximate the built in spacer on the original. The ones you mentioned will also work with the same spacing.

Mike I have been using Associated 91721 B6 shock ends, and they come with a ball. The length of the ball is shorter than the original, so I often use a small nylon spacer to make up the difference. On Ebay search "Vintage Associated Rc10 Stealth 2.25 Left Diff Outdrive 6578". You will find...

You can get outdrives from Dynotech Racing. Like $50 a set.
