GOT ME A TRAXXAS WILDCAT

[rccars4sal]

So how many different brands did this car exist under? Surely 1 version would have the correct parts to make it look like the box art. How about some fancy carbon weave shock towers if oem isn't available?

lol ya think iam going to leave it as is and replace a couple parts and not worry so much about the shocks. will post up some pics as soon as i get it along with the parts i bought so far for it.

boy traxxas guys are real duches. i have sent the only 2 guys i can find on the traxxas forum that owns wildcats and they never respond to any pm or posts on theri thread. even when i see they are online. if i need help on here i would get sooo many pm's and people helping out.

Daniel normally replies. Don't know if you be talkin about the guy you bought the one above from but think he's one of the guys over there. Most of the guys that are helpful and still active on there are over on this board now also. We're still missing a few guys from over there but most of the ones there were very helpful in the vintage section and always quick to help out. Daniel posted a rendering of your shock towers over there if that helps...

no didnt talk to the guy i got this car from. but i did send daniel like 4 pm's just asking for some info never heard back from him. and he was even online at the same time as me plus i think he bought up every wildcat part left in the world

Maybe he is waiting for the 5th and 6th so he can answer all at once?

J/K buddy, but be patient.

Yeah, Daniel can be finicky I guess. He answered my pms/emails almost instantly any time of the day though when I was selling my wildcat and he was in the running for it so maybe that explains his lack of reply. Yes, he went on a vintage traxxas rampage and still pry on it. He didn't get all the wildcat parts though

hum does that wink mean u have some wildcat parts

[klavy69]

Yep, meaning you are not the only one trying to put together shocktowers and shocks to make it more like 'OEM'. Beat Daniel out on several auctions for awhile then ended up selling most of the excess off when I decided to sell the first one. hence, understanding why I try not to sell anything off that I might need down the road .

WELL I GOT THE CAR TODAY. and well lol the body boy she was hurting. got out the old glue gun and filled in all the cracks also added some clear plastic to fill in the big breaks. this car overall is in ok shape but she is going to need a lot of love. will post pics later.

[hugger19]

well this car sure wont win beauty contest's fixed the body up had a s-load of cracks. when the guy who i got it from bought it from france and said most of the breaks prob came from s/h. well other than that, the cars pretty complete minus the electric cover, main shaft and one output shaft for the 4x4 system. i pulled the tires off the car since they were incorrect and in poor shape and added what i was told to be the correct motor a race prep orange bell end motor. i have an orginal speed control, yellow shocks, rere rear wing sticker and tamiya hotshot tires, since they are the same only difference is the wildcat ones said "star light" tamiya ones say "super gripper". will be posting pics as i go thanks.
