ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!
I have been looking for these rare parts for a while now. The Reedy Flash Modified Motor, Tekin 610 esc and Thorp dog bones was a bit of a challenge, but the Hot Trick Red Prince is what took me years to find. Only twice have I ever seen them pop up on eBay, and I lost both times to faster bidders (because I suck at bidding 🙄), but then I had something tell me they would sell me one from his collection but ended up backing out on me for some reason. I gave up looking for a while but then started asking around again, and finally, a super cool dude sold me his extras from his amazing collection. The parts are a little beat up and need some work, but if anyone knows me, I enjoy restoring more than buying someone's builds. He gave me enough parts to build two of them, just one is missing the the part where the front radius arm goes. This goes to show you to have patience and not be afraid to ask around as one man's junk is another man's treasure. All I need is to find some nice vintage wheels and get to work. Thanks to everyone who helped me find these parts and big thanks to the forum for allowing me to post what I am looking for. You guys are the best part of waking up! 🤣 This will be a fun one. Stay tuned!
