I'm with teamchrome - what shocks are those? Are they the Integy MSR6 units? Did you have any problems fitting the shocks onto the vehicle?

What kind of pistions are in the shocks? Are they the 'o-ring' style? Are the pistons alloy or plastic?

Very nice car set up indeed.

I also wonder what the plans are for that nitro engine? Are you going to use it as a windshield wiper motor?

They have them at WalMart, there was one here in the clearance isle a while back, but didn't have the price on it. I have to go there in a bit, I'll check to see if they still have it and get a price.

No Moa you've got a PM.

I don't understand why they pulled the ebay link from my posting. [>:] As far as I understand it was not advertising, since it wasn't my auction. I don't even know the seller. I just looked for that body shell and found it. Since shipping costs to Germany would be to high for such a big but inexpensive item, I decided against the buy for myself...

The body I have is made by Fast Lane, and it came as an RTR truck from Toys R Us. It was also sold by Amazon.com but I don't think it's available anymore. The truck was $99, and I sold off everything but the body.

I don't know Fast Lane, but chances are they've got the (complete) cars from that Chinese manufacturer as well. They do licensed models for Chevy, Ford, Jeep and Dodge and, according to their website, the products can be bought at Walmart, Toy 'r' Us...

Does this look familiar to you:

Yeah, Fast Lane is one of Toys R Us' own brands, but it seems the truck has disappeared from the websites. I've never seen the Harley version, but it's pretty cool. I probably would have picked it up had I seen it first. The two bodies are a bit different, as is most apparent in a comparison of the front ends.

That chrome bumpers on the Harley body would be a nice combination.[8D]
