Converting tornado BB to vortex SS
 
i think im going to convert but where can i find the parts? theres quite a few parts that are different but i cant seem to find any parts for the vortex anywhere. I'm mainly looking for the body mounts that screw onto the shock towers and the proper screws. Also the front and rear bumpers that come on the vortex.

rufaster.com doesnt have parts for the vortex there just tornado bb parts... the bumpers are totally different and the body mounts dont even exist.

Yes amost all parts are same as Tornado BB and we are also now stocking the Vortex parts but just a little tardy in getting web site updated.

I dont know why they dont have the vortex listing for parts up but here, i just searched all bumpers-

front vortex ss bumper- http://www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/62048
This one just says rear bumper for vortex, but they should be interchangeable on both nitro and electric- http://www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/62048_2

As for the shock towers/body mounts, im pretty sure the volcano bumpers will work, they are all plastic instead off those thin aluminum ones- http://www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/08012
