Picked this up local on Craigslist for pretty cheap. I've been wanting a graphite car for a while now (not really been wanting a 6-gear, but it is what it is) and the wheels were just a huge bonus. Help me ID this thing.. take your best guess at what I got? Also, who made these wheels??

T&A Machining wheels. Houge steering bellcranks. Tecnacraft Ti-rods.

cool carbon fiber weave, too. Nice car!

Nice wheels!

LOL, it came with an old Futaba stick radio, 6 cell pack and charger. For the hell of it I flipped the switch on the radio.. and the light came on! So I plugged the battery in and the servo twitched! I'm digging for a bearing for the 6-gear right now as it had a blasted out top-shaft bearing and if I can find one (3/16 x 5/16 I think??), this thing is getting blasted around the front yard before it gets torn down for the hydrogen peroxide bath

Is that the flanged or unflanged i have both

Looks like a good little buggy. how much did you pick it up for?

tdevilman77: The top bearings in this 6-gear are flanged.
shodog: $125

It's been disassembled for mega-cleaning. Post up more pics when I get 'er back together. Still super happy I picked this one up

Nice score on that one.

+2 the wheels are worth that price.

I texted back n forth w/ the kid but got rerouted and didnt get to go south ,I really thought he took it off just because I didnt get to him like 3 days in a row just to spite me...Anyway nice score... I really only needed the rear wheels,cool to know a fellow vintage guy is close around

Yeah, I went back and forth on it for a few days and decided I should snag it just because the chassis and wheels looked clean - glad I did I'm down in Sarasota - race at FZRC.

Oh yeah nice score,glad to see it went to a apreciative new owner ,Luckily I scored a pink/purple one off the bay this week w/ some sees 5 stars on it to ease the pain of missing out on this one,I will post some pics when it arrives,btw im all the way in springhill our local track is not setup for electric buggys so most of my stuff just sits...
