Would you swap.

I would do, does it run, and if not what would I need to get it running,? I could make you one up from scratch so all is perfect but I don't have any more of the alloy bits pictured in my shelf queen, but then again none of the ones I race or fellow racers race with have the alloy bits anyway as if you add alloy parts and have a crash it's the chassis that will break, or another dearer part, I could give you a choice of about 4 body shells also and could include a motor, esc also some standard knobly tyres and carbon effect wheels and some foams if you plan on racing indoors, how would we do it though if you were interested,
(not bothered either way) (i'll leave the ball in your court), would you be willing to post to me then I would post to you upon reciept?..

i have no feedback on here as i have never sold anything on oople, only purchased, but could give you my 750 transactions 100% feedback ebay profile which you could contact me through so you know its me,

Wow ! That looks amazing !! Unbeleivable ! May I ask where you order you're parts for this from ? What body is that and where did you get the blue anodized screw kit from ??!! Oh and where are the shock towers from ?? Just dreaming of building one like yours !

[Nige55]

hi,

the shock towers are from:

http://www.rcmodelimports.co.uk/com/...th=363_176_290


the body is from:

http://phatbodies.bigcartel.com/prod...at-bodies-mojo

the alloy parts i got from ebay but i've found somewhere a lot cheaper and they have all alloy parts in stock at $14.50 each, (amazing site):

http://gpmracing.com.hk/catalog/main...99d2fbd77a4d85


the screw kits i got from:

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLYA7&P=7

but unfortunatly they had them reduced from $44 to $8 so i purchased the last 5 sets they had and are now showing as discontinued..


since the photo's i put above i have put on the car a blue alloy wing mount and blue screws in the front shock tower and blue screws on steering and top plate mount and blue alloy steering posts.

i have coming (hopefully tomorrow) some silver carbon front and rear shock towers, and soon after that some blue alloy body posts, will post some more pics when i am happy with it and i think i have finished it, which will hopefully be in next week

i could put in it a motor and servo and speed controller, so then you would just need to keep your reciever and handset for it, but truthfully , i know i'm being silly saying this but you would be better off selling your car on ebay and then buying a shark with the proceeds,

sharks arnt as dear as they used to be, i dont like to see people lose out..

as you will more than likely have some money left over, i have a friend putting a shark on ebay in the next week or so and it has a top of range speed controller and motor in it and will be the extended 25mm longer version

I will pm you in the morning with some pictures. And you can make your mind up from there

[rondoolaa]

[rondoolaa]

i know this is an old thread now but while looking through the forum i found it and thought i would update the pictures to the cars final state,

you may have seen the pics in another part of the forum but for those who havnt this is how my lrp shark finished up, still sitting proudly on my shelf

[Dombrasky]
