Nice find. Original Bodies, Wheels and Tires are hard to come by. Most other parts pop up on ebay.

Search around the site, others have modified them to use touring tires and wheels as well as bodies with success if your goal is to run it.

looks like you have a sport model. if it was not upgraded you likely have bushings in the trans.

the original wheels and rubber tires are tough to find, the rear more than the fronts, especially. It easier to find foam wheels, and tires. It is pretty easy to convert to touring car parts.

the arms and shock towers and front arm mounts/nose are unique to the model, otherwise, it's standard rc10 parts. those pop on ebay more frequently than the wheels and tires, but are slowly getting hard to find. they are tough however.

there are a ton of DS cars on the forum that can give you lots of ideas.

Nice find. I'm going to look for one if these soon myself. AE has the front wheels on the site for 99 cents.

Its a great and fun car, nitro or electric. Simple to maintain as well, which just leaves you with more time to run it.

The qualifier version, as jwscab pointed out, will have bushings. The set of sc10 axles i pm'd you earlier has bearings for the front hubs as well as bearings for the rear hub setup. You can use that set of bearings for the rear hubs of your DS. The only leaves you with bushings in the tranny. Those you can figure out and order.

Any 200mm will do great (HPI are great in detail). if you go 190mm then you have to select wheels that have zero offset or they will stick out. I encountered that issue with the Lambo DS.

If you cant find replacement shocks, the NTC3 shocks will do good as well.
