Ok a good sized update-- some misc parts I was missing for my build

One new black 81T spur ( thanks for the heads up Temple) Now if I could only find a four hole front
tower NIP , and that rear stealth brace

Are you sure the early Team Car came with the 4 hole front shock tower? That's the tower used on the Graphite RC10, right? I know it shows it in the early manual pics, but I thought the Team Car only came with the updated 6 hole CE tower!

[Charlie don't surf]

Well, for the chassis I have (very very early offset battery B stamp) that tower is correct (4 hole)
not many of them went out as it seems, but there are a few other differences as well--stay tuned!

and that rear stealth brace What one are you looking?

[aeiou]

Interesting. I knew about the Stealth brace without the "bumps", but I didn't know the early Team Cars had the 4-hole shock tower. I thought that was an early Champ and Graphite thing only. If that's true, would it also be possible that the Graphite Team Car had them, too?

[templeofspeed]

I have a very early graphite Team Car with the no bumps brace as well as the four hole tower. I don't know that the alloy tub Team Cars had these features, wasn't the graphite Team Car released first by a few months?

[Charlie don't surf]

Dang, as hard as I've been looking for this stuff, I sure hope it did.

[Charlie don't surf]

Two more bits needed for this car, seems like I might not need the tower for this one after all , but just a set of rear rims-and those pesky stealth braces

[RichieRich]

How come my Team Car came with a white spur gear? I didn't know they came in white and black.

[Charlie don't surf]

I think all of em came white, but the early manual shows a black one

Ok, just a set of rear rims left--then she starts!! Thanks for the heads up from Temple on the parts needed for this build, I never even knew this particular brace exsisted
