Geez..$35 is a great deal. The RPM car pops up on ebay from time to time. There is a decent one on ebay buy it now for $150. I have a RPM car that I gt a while ago that was missing a bunch of parts. After over a year I've hunted down the parts and its almost done. Unfortunatly, thats the wrong way to do it because it ends up costing a small fortune! Congrats on your find...are you going to run it?

**EDIT- The only thing I can see that could be considered wrong for a RPM car would be the front shock tower. That looks to be a RC10T tower.

Heres a pic of mine from early summer...

No, I'm not going to run my RPM car 8) my runner I think will be one of the other 2 just not sure what one yet.. I guess it depends on what one is worth more or harder to find :mrgreen:

On the RPM car what shock tower do I need? what do I need to look for when I find one?

I really like your white RPM car!!

Momo5's ultramolded has the correct front tower. Looks similar to yours but a little wider overall. They show up from time to time on ebay. Seen one last week in an rc10 'lot' of stuff that was way overpriced. Can't find the thread on here right now that had the pictures of it in comparison to others but I think it was in the scans archive. Problem is that people throw pix in their threads and then the pix dissappear when they don't do any upkeep on their accounts :x . We have alot of useless threads in the there like that....

Or if you want a RPM style front shocktower in carbon fiber...they are available from Fiber-lyte.
