No idea.. bought them from rcMart a long time ago (3 yrs+?).. ha ha!! I don't think they add much to the performance of the car other than some bling, though.. ha ha!!

I was looking at that one (is there another?  hahaha , ,)  but not too keen on getting it though. We have had issues with bent 3Racing knuckles. I guess they use softer materials, not 6061. If I do break one more C-hub, I will probably take my chances on that one.

I don't know if that's the one I got.. since I got it so long ago.. but in general, I prefer 3Racing over Yeah Racing..

The best would be Tamiya, of course...

Tamiya doesn't have alloy C-hubs . . . or do they?
 If they do, can't seem to find one. []

Took my Wild Willy 2 out on Monday afternoon. It is just a stock truck (and I know I should change over to the short bumper, LB ), but it is so much fun that I don't feel the need to upgrade anything. I did buy a factory finished body for when it is setting on the shelf.......I'm no painter.

Awesome song in your video. I actually watched the whole thing, which is rare for RC vids. [8D]

hey LB, can you measure the wheelbase of the lunchbox for me? I just want to know if I can fit the lexan body on my M03. Thanks!
Someone's offering mea built but unused &unpainted Lunchhbox for around $43 converted.
He just kept it in the shelf. Box, manual &stickers intact. No esc though. Good buy?

I took a quick look and it is around 8.125".

WW-2 wheelbase is shorter, at less than 7".. (I think it is around 6.75"?)

$43 sounds like a good deal to me.. !!

I got the Lunchbox! It's in pristine condition.
Former owner bought it just 2 weeks ago!
Guess he made an impulse buy and decided to let it go.
Good for me!
