Y'all need to keep your eyes open for some arms and an upper deck for me!

Woober Goober was a member here and Tamiyaclub awhile back but hasn't been active for several years. He's got a top deck and a set of arms. I tried contacting him some time ago through this site, TC.com and eBay but never got a response. :|

Maybe someone here knows him and can get you two in touch.


Since you have the kick-up and chassis you could probably make a close copy of the top deck until you find an original. The stock raider arms would also likely fit on the Cali-Raider....maybe use two sets of rears for the front and back.

I've got an idea: we should get Jerzi to make carbon versions of the arms chassis and all other flat parts ... wel actually GomachV: you have a pin-less router, right?

Woot! Bookface for the win :mrgreen: it's a broken upper deck, still good as a template tho. The chassis and nose look like they are pretty fresh! Sure wish he had the arms.

With this, I can build a California raider roller with the newly aquired parts and the spare rear tower I have. Never been so excited about a damn raider lol

I still wouldn't mind finding this under the Christmas tree...
It looks better than the original with your personal touches.
Speaking of which, any chance you can fit other arms? Maybe black rc 10 arms in the front and back?
Ps, did they plan this kit to use with the original body, or was there a dedicated design?

I don't have a stock body to test but I hope a stocker fits it.
Not sure about arms, I'll have a look and see if others might fit. I have someone on the Facebook forum saying they have arms...doubtful but we will see.

Well I was able to score a single arm, hoping to be able to copy and replicate this so my car finally will look proper

Yes and also the shock mount tabs for the front but getting the shape of the arm was the most critical to me.
