I am in the process of putting together an RC10 CE, and the car has all black plastic except for the Front and Rear Shock Towers. I have found one of each in black for the following price:

Front: 21 shipped
Rear: 11 shipped

Are these reasonable prices or am I getting taken? Also, can you still procure these new anywhere???


Thanks!!

This board is a wonderful resource to us newbies.

thats a bit high/ripoff, the white fiberglass ones can EASILY be dyed black. if you send me white ones, i can dye them for you..

if you can find any, i have a bagful of used ones that when dyed black will look new. let me know

unless you are talking about carbon fiber/graphite towers, that is high

let me guess: Valkyrie RC motorsports?

Yep!

Mike - If you have some old ones that you would be willing to dye, that would be great... I would like to discuss what this transaction would cost. Please PM me... I don't have BST access yet (like 3 more posts!!)...
Let me know!

Just want to make sure that you realize that no CE kits ever came with black shock towers even if all the other parts were factory black.

I believe that was a serious flaw in their design

I just think the black parts look so clean on the gold chasis, and those 2 pieces of white look awful. I know it's not the purist theory, but it's personal preferance.
