Sorry... but I have to brag - I stepped in S***

Post by esaresky75 »

So I have a complete Rocky and a parts one that needs a upper and lower chassis. I purchased one listed on ebay to put the parts one together. The seller said it had the "upgrade Aluminum chassis". I wasn't sure if it might have been a Turbo Rocky as I couldn't see the front shock tower. I also have been looking for the ultra-rare Option House W-5062. Do I need to explain any more?

Here the ebay link : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=230588748939&si=lSubAc8dQUT%252FO4RihoFdMEVnD7k%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT

What I received IS a Turbo Rocky with the Gold Option House W-5062 universals!!!

Score!!!!

Nice score. I bid on that item, thinking that I could use the Turbo Rocky chasis on my Rocky. Congrats on winning it!

Can anyone confirm if the aluminum chasis will work on a Rocky? There's a guy on Ebay selling the Turbo Rocky chasis but I'm reluctant to spend $70 not fully knowing whether it will work with the Rocky. I sent the seller various emails all of which go unanswered, never a good sign...

Also, as previously suggested, would you mind posting the measurements of the gold 5062's? I'm trying to find something that would work in their absence...

Thanks guys!
Currently restoring my old Kyosho Rocky, please send me a PM if you have any parts...

Yes, the Turbo Chassis does fit the Gearboxes of the regular Rocky. Not sure if the Drive Chain length is the same but that's an easy fix if not.
