Gonna go with gomachv on this one. I've got one like that one and a rather beat up one like is mentioned with the 4 rear/2 front shocks set up like they are supposed to have. The one I have like that one you haven't paid for yet was argued that it was not a traxxas wildcat but honestly sitting side by side back when I got them there was no visible difference between the 2 besides the shocks/towers. You could follow thru on that one and add shocks/towers to make it what you want. I would also think you could get away without having to take it off his hands since its not technically what he listed it as. Either way its a little bit higher than decent priced 'oddball'.

You might wanna go poking around in the traxxas forum vintage electric section also. I wanna say this guy says he bought the wildcats from razer after the deal fell thru with the overseas sale. Don't remember if the pics of razers cars were still there or not but might be....

ya been on their one guy has a load of parts and like 2 3 wildcats.

i guess if it IS the same car except for the shocks hummm of course the shocks/towers are going to be super hard to find.

Yup it's just a car that was sold under different names. Minor differences but it's still one that would be good to have in case those parts ever pop up. The car looks to be in good shape overall. It's just at the price where I can't quite justify it yet it's hard to pass up That's why I was watching the video when u won it! Lol

true i guess i could spend a life long search of the shocks/towers

If you let the car go, I bet you see the parts on eBay next week! That's how it goes for me anyway!

lol ya same as every time i sell a part i find a need for it like the next week when i had the part for like ever

It may be a rare model, but the appearance dosent really make it stand out too much. Almost looks like a nikko or radio shack type. Im wondering if bluebird took elements from the toy sector as well?

well i did buy the car, but not after a little price adjustment. won it for $85 shipped.

also won 6 yellow traxxas cat shocks, since i have seen some wildcats with the yellow shocks and they are the same just yellow.

i found some pics online of the box. its really odd the car on the front of the box has 6 white shocks but than on the side of the box they show 3 yellow shocks. boy this is a really odd car.

Sounds like the traxxas version came with a race prep orange endbell motor with no label. That should be easy!

just picked up an orginal speed control for the car also. now just need those shock towers

thats the picture of the box that has launched more than a few arguments over what it should be and what it was. Good luck.
