Someone must have one...?!

Hi all, I am looking for 1x C5 and 1x E1 parts for my wild dagger chassis. Has anyone got these bits lying around somewhere? I have taken some pics to jolt some memories:
Part C5 is attached to the chassis above the battery, Part E1 (shown on yellow cloth on floor) attaches to C5; see pic below
I am happy to pay for these bits so please pm me!
Cheers 28yok

My neighbour is building a Durga for his son. Worryingly he says that he "can't wait for his car to be ready"....Not sure the son will get a look in. LOL!
As we want to be able to run together on an equal footing, I am taking the EZ run out of the fire dragon and replacing it with a standard silver can. Although the brushless FD has great novelty appeal, I dont have the skills required to control in properly. It's all I can do to keep it in a straight line! I have found the handling at full throttle quite 'edgy' with oversteer always looming. I am hoping that life with the silver can will help me learn the handling and really get to drive it hard rather than the odd burst of power and multiple steering corrections!
Will keep you informed. We are looking to run on a gravel car park and make a track with mini cones.

...and get another kit
Want something very fast and can handle grass any ideas anyone ?You could just buy a sport tuned motor for the LB. Although may not be "Very Fast" but def faster! I have a Wild Dagger with twin 550 motors and 14.4v, it is crazy, like something off a trevor Macdonald documentry about Young drunk Hoodies! Although they dont make it anymore, the chassis is the same as the Blackfoot Xtreme, so maybe you could get one and add an extra motor if you want to build, or just pick one up off ebay as they come up from time to time, and start pimping it! Two motors and 4WD have no problems with grass. Mine has locked diffs to so a bit of a mountain goat!
Let us know what you decide on...hopefully not a flashy mobile phone!

Nice, green with black stripe looks vintage and modern at the same time!
-
you have said it does not come with a receiver, and then that it does further down in the ad. dont want to confuse people!
Thanks MF! Well spotted, I must have still been in shock at selling her. I have changed the ad now. Cheers Mate!

1st baby on the way, so maybe when they are older I can buy another one!

Hi all, anyone got an alu wild dagger chassis they want to sell. Must have 2x battery slots. Cheers 28

Took my 14.4v Wild Dagger on her 1st proper run! WOW! Super glued tyres and locked diffs mean lots of dust flying and 4 wheel drifting! It was great...almost anti-social in the park, attracted lots of attention. Probably my biggest RC rush to date. Climbing was amazing like two scrambler bikes strapped side by side, just aim it and nail the power! Unfortunately, I have got home and realised that the chassis is crumbling away
Need an alu one now!
-
Got one on ebay in the end. These NIBs are still available, so pm me if you want to buy. Thanks

I'd write to the seller explaining that the description given does not add up to the product received. I would then let him know that you would like to return the car to the seller for a full refund (less carriage). If you get no response, then make a claim via paypal. I have made claims via paypal for things not turning up. Even if the seller does not respond to paypal, they may still find in your favour and refund you the money. I know this is a grey area as to whether the ad was misleading, but if you feel like you have been done then you should try and put things straight, or at least raise a bit of badword as a warning to sellers like this.
Best of Luck!

Nice one Jack, looks great!

How much for the Hornet?
£87 incl. postage to UK address.

The wifes just said no because i have spent a small fortune on parts and cars just lately and we go to florida on hols in just under three weeks. Dont suppose you would trade one for a mini moto (made by blata its a ducatti 916 not a cheap chinese import, it just needs a ht lead and its only been through three tanks of fuel)
Sorry Evil. ;(

I got some pics of the beetle in the sales section in the forum but I have fitted the white stadium wheels since then(brand new) and given the beetle shell a paint job, I just had a look on the bay and I see you can still buy the stadium body new, I can take more pics later if you want to see the stadium body but it is very bad, I got it like that.

pm'd you

I did have a stadium blitzer but I converted it to a Blitzer Beetle, still have the truck body but it is badly beaten up and have lost the body mounts now!, may do you as a project?
Hi Wolfdogstinkus, do you have a pic? Maybe this would be a good SB starting point for me...?! Thanks

Back to before superglue debacle, only shinier! Also sunroof is now exactly the same colour as rest of the roof...this wasnt so when I did the sunroof separately!
Next bit to sort is painting the driver (or finding someone who can do it justice)...
-
I wouldn't mind the Dark Impact if your selling.
on ebay if you want to buy £129 incl del in uk:

-
are you selling them as seperates to generate cash? if so the lunchbox and impreza are tasty to me?
I would sell the LB for £67 (£57 without ESC) and the Scooby for £103 all incl. Delivery in the UK.
-
Hi all,
I have a few NIB items. All with ESC except the Dark Imapct. I am looking for a Stadium Blitzer preferably in good condition. Not sure what a good one is worth, so some guidance would be useful if anyone has an idea...? Rather than spend more £££ I would rather trade a kit. So if you have a SB gathering dust and fancy building one of these, please pm me! I must say the Impreza looks pretty sexy with the LED kit included, would look really nice
Would also consider buying a resto SB.
Cheers 28

Had a total mare last night (!) decided to superglue the sunroof on and managed to get superglue on the sunroof, the roof and attach my thumb to the sunroof...! LOL! I was not a happy bunny as the superglue didn't do much for the paint finish, and having a thumb attached was not workable longterm. Ended up masking the offending section and repraying it. The result was a raised red section on the roof...
So I ended up sanding the edges of the new section and masking all the beetle stickers and respraying the whole roof section. Luckily, this blended the new bit perfectly. A few coats of lacquer later and the beetle is back to how it was before I started meddling!!
Albeit a bit shinier now! So alls well in the end.
