W-5666 (front turnbuckles for steering and upper link)
W-5665 (rear turnbuckles)

Thanks I found the w-5665 rears on Ebay still need the fronts

Team version has them included, the sport does not. 1 version of the manual to cover both cars. The only other thing different besides bearings is shocks. Team has aluminum, sport has plastic.

how do you order from him?

Try to find a portuguese speaking friend?

or use babelfish yahoo to translate the site for you.
the site is in brasil I guess as it ends in .br

I emailed him and Kyosho a few days ago and no responce from either one??

lots of nn-active sites on the web, maybe that will be the dead of the net some day; suffocation

Can I ask why you are looking for those turnbuckles still while you're trying to sell the kit on another threat? Kind of confuses me.

He's just torn on what to do with the car. Sell or Keep?

Because it doesnt look like anybody is going to buy it!! I tryed to get people to offer up some trades? no one is offering up anything for it. I was talking to one guy but he doesnt want it now, so if it doesnt sell I will keep it? if I sell it the turnbuckles will just go with it

I must say I am kinda shocked know one is intrested in it? its a great kit? so I will keep looking for parts and if it doesnt sell and the wife gives the ok to take it off the market I will build it up an put it up on the shelf?
but I am torn weather to build it or leave it in the box?

what does everyone think? build or not?

Build it, Run it, Disassemble it, Wash it, Re-package it, Sell it to me at as a Used kit...

That is a sweet car, I would build it and shelf it...

Build it! It's a rare car and I'd totally buy it from you but I'm getting a custom Rawlings baseball glove instead.

I would normally join the troopes yelling 'build it' but I constantly see you selling off stuff and am under the impression you have more builts, and little time to run each. Besides of that, I believe you were selling some of that for financing the studies and other things.
In your shoes I would be patient and sell it NIB. Guess I'm going old.

Generally speeking:
I really don't understand and agree with people who speculate on RC.
This is a hobby, and in my point of view, if you have bought the car, itis for using it or make it shelf! The choice is only up to you.
Of course, if you built it, it's value will decrease, and if you run it also.
If your ideal RC is on the track, then run it. If your ideal is the perfect car to sse, then keep it shelf.
What is the interest to buy a car and to keep it in the box ??!!!!

In your situation:
if you bought the car to make money, then keep on this point view, because you will have regrets to built it.
As mr Ed said, be patient.

In my situation:
I have never seen this car, and I am very interested in that you built it online!!!!!

Thx for these pictures asso man!.
Interesting cut view of the tranny also: i notice the particular intermediate internal pinion to obtain the right gear ratio in the optimized space.
It really seems to be a nice car: visually, and tehcnically modern trends (chassis, large arms, etc).
