Hey daddeo, what is the "other" manual? I know the graphite and stealth manuals were separate items in the graphite kits, and one of my 6035's has a supplement for the top-load shocks. But there's another one pictured besides the parts catalog...

Maybe scan it...?

The other odd thing is that the rear arms are the long hingepin versions, where as the Team Car from the same era had the white short hingepin rear arms...like the final black World's Car arms. Scr8p had mentioned that he assembled a few of those kits and remembered white plastic. I'm just wondering about the rear arms.

Not to bust your bubble...but enquiring minds want to know...

Sweet car, sweet score.

I want a graphite car bad. There's a local guy here who has a nice one, I have been trying to get him to sell it to me for a while. He said he may sell it, but who knows when if ever. I am racing with him this weekend, so I will ask him again. I ask him every time I see him lol.....

The JR NES 510 was JR's entry level servo, along the lines of a Futaba S3003. I got a JR python when they first came out, it came with 2 NES 510's. I think it was about 97 maybe, so they go back at least that far.

You guys in the states are so lucky as so many of the ebay sellers only sell to the US. NO offense it makes you feel like they think there is no world outside of the US states. I mean how hard is it, you still have to go to the post office it shouldnt be that different for asking for cost to the rest of the world instead of a state. Also the postage in the UK is probably higher than everywhere else in the world.

Sorry rant over its just hard to watch all these good deals with BIN's etc and you think I never saw that only to find that its a US only auction.

Perhaps we could get Mr. Reichert to have Cliff tell us when exactly this chassis was offered... I'm still not 100% sure that Daddeo's car hasn't been re-chassied. Not that it still wasn't a screamin' deal. But it' would be helpful (for him especially) to know what the exact spec should be.

well, the one i built at the hobby shop i worked at back in the day closed in mid/late 1994. so it was before that.

so thats a factory chassis with no servo mounting holes?

that would be correct. i drilled servo mount holes in mine. if it'd been as nice as daddeo's chassis, i wouldn't have.

Sorry for not responding before now, been busy!

I have taken some more photo's of the car specifically the rear suspension to show what came with the car. Maybe this will help with uncovering anything if indeed something is there . The manual is a regular Graphite Team Car manual and the supplement is about the hard plated shocks. Maybe sometime this weekend I can get these scanned into my computer and then post them. I will begin the tear down tomorrow and keep this thread updated with pictures ! One thing I cannot get over is how good of shape the underside is especially the front!













I know, lots of pictures but I like taking pictures of this car .

That car after cleaning will be very hot. Love it. good buy.

Thanks, I can't wait to get it cleaned up!

Another congrats on getting this car! Especially in the condition its in, I'd say you've been blessed

looks like it may have a imitation graphite laminent on there.....

carloco- Thanks!

Spiderman-

The tear down has begun and hope to have some pictures sometime tomorrow.

Making some progress, slow but sure. Here's a few during the tear down:






The shocks were not assembled correctly and had no oil in them :
