Nice. I've got a gear cover and a set of JG wing mounts if you need.

looks really nice, I'm in the process of mounting the same chassis to my vintage racer. The upper brace looks interesting, is it home made?

All right! Equalizer shocks. You wouldn't happen to have a set of fronts for sale? :wink:

Nice car really.

Are you gonna run it?
If you do, a couple things to check: the front tires are sitting off the rim on the inside and the upper plate is not attached to the front bulkhead.

If you need more front rims, I think I have 4 of the ones you have laying around (missing the inner part to press the tire on.) Not sure if they are kyosho or AYK or hirobo. Clean and cheap.

I also have bigger diameter fluo orange ones from Drastic, with somewhat appropriate tires even. Also have the assorted rears. Not NIB, but wheels and tires were never run: shelf-life only.

thanks mr. ed :D no i'm not gonna run this one. the inner rib on the wheel was cut off for what ever reason :roll: so i am searching for a nice set of aluminum or aftermarket wheels(i never did like the look of the ultima wheels). the upper plate is a work in progress so it was not bolted down. if you have any aluminum or aftermarket shoot me some pics :D

thanks.............scot

Hey scot there never was an inner rib :mrgreen:
They used a flat ring you had to put on the inside of the tire and then slide it all over the wheel.
Bit like 3 piece wheels but missing the 3rd part :lol:


Here you see the tires and wheels I have: the only way they were ever used: for pics.

Interesting choice of bodies. McAllister correct? I have one has well. I know this might sound strange coming from me, but you won't happen to know the name/part number? I have not been able to find out what exactly it is.

Looks good!
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

nice car man,body looks awesome on there.did you not bolt down the trackmaster tranny? i once sold a motor just like that one on ebay for 75 n change .it seems to be a well sought after motor.look good but i also think you gotta flip the rims around to the other sides.loving the red rims much better than the white or pinks.them front tire look as if they are for narrow 4WD rims as well.
2nd place is just the 1st loser
