I need help finding a body for the gold team edition

I wanted to pickup an extra body and wing for the re-release team edition found here but I have no idea which one to get.

What other spare parts should I grab while I’m at it?

Can anyone help? Thanks

The Boki Viper is a nice reproduction of the Team Car body.

They have the wing too.

But I would bet AE will be selling a replacement shell, or Viper body, at some point too.

I had an email from AE telling me it was back in stock, but it doesn't show in stock right now. I'm sure it will be back.

The Boki is a really nice body and they are made in the USA, kinda like AE used to be ;-)

X4 on Boki. Noticeably better quality than the bodies from Associated.

...unless you were asking for ideas on a body style other than a Viper. That would be tougher.

If you aren't set on an original style body, the JConcepts offerings fit great.

Thanks note the boki links! Are there spare parts I should pick up to run this car?

You might want to rebuild the diff and shocks at some point so I would start there.
And, of course, tires depending on your track surface. :wink:

i have the detonator on a car, its really nice. their protector looks really nice too, just a protech with a bit more flair.

I have a Detonator, two Detonator Worlds, three Protectors and just got a Mirage WSE .

The Mirage is still in the pack but the rest fit great.

I'm so-so on the wing, with its modern vibe. I prefer the original Team Car or Jammin wings.

Once you get enough valid posts, you can ask in the wanted section of B/S/T. I'm certain that you can find one.

J Concepts Protector body is pretty close to the original Protech, but modernized.
