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....

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

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

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?

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

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.
