Your COX car is actually called an Ultra Stock, it shares many parts with a Bandido :wink:

Ok, you win, guess those are Bandidio wheels - don't see that body too often. But I think I did see that it is being re-popped :roll:

Apart from Kyosho spare parts, are there compatible dogbones and axle cup joints?



The original parts are expensive and hard to find.
