Re: NIB Slingshot Build
That looks great. I'm not too familiar with the Slingshot...an on-road chassis with offroad tires? I also wonder if the shock positions are too horizontal to allow much compression. Strange...
I love your pit stand too, what kind is it?

Re: NIB Slingshot Build
As Lowgear said, it's was Kyosho's attempt at a 4WD dirt oval car. The Lumina is basically the same car with a few small differences. I have the shocks mounted at a greater angle than they should be, but they still compress like normal.
The stand is an old piece from Lightning R/C that I picked up NIP on ebay for cheap.

Re: NIB Slingshot Build
The slingshot is an optima mid-based dirt oval racer... LTO-Dave recently sold a very nice one to me (thanks again Dave!), it was the first time I saw one in Europe. I am pretty sure it's a US-only kit based on a GreatPlanes request to Kyosho. Sweet piece of kit really...

Re: NIB Slingshot Build
Any 230-235 mm wide 28 cm wheelbase body should fit, so Kyosho bodies for the 4WD Oval series (Optima MID-based) and Scale Series (Ultima on-road, Lazer ZX, Lazer Sport-based cars) should fit. Also, wide GP-10 bodies.
Non-Kyosho, look for RC-10L bodies that are not GTP-cars.
