Your COX car is actually called an Ultra Stock, it shares many parts with a Bandido

[hugger19]

the body's a cox ultra stock and yes the chassis is like 90% the same this chassis is from a bandido.

[RC10resto]

Ok, you win, guess those are Bandidio wheels - don't see that body too often. But I think I did see that it is being re-popped

You might spend some money but it will be worth it in the end...that's what I like about this hobby

[hugger19]

here she is all cleaned up with a new battery cover, frt lower mount/frt arms, rear arms, swapped out the frt bumper with this style i had and added a rc10 driver, since i have a couple doing nothing in a box. just waiting on a new chrome wheel set to arrive in the mail to finish it up!

Apart from Kyosho spare parts, are there compatible dogbones and axle cup joints?



The original parts are expensive and hard to find.
