Default Schumacher Fireblade Evo Parts?

Hi,

Does anyone have any fireblade evo parts kicking around?

Looking for rear output cups, rear wing and decent body & undertray, (preferably cheap!)

Thanks

Adam

not looked at what they have in stock, but the Schumacher website may be able to help?

To re-furb such a classic "vintage" buggy on the cheap with a view to running it is a bit of a paradox... Parts, if found, will not be cheap and coupled with the fact that not many units were produced of this buggy, ergo no used spares... IMO get it re-furbed and stick it on a shelf.. or just don't bother... If you wanna rebuild a vintage to run, choose tamiya... lots of used and new spares due to parts crossover... There has to be some balance to an idea of rebuilding vintage items...

I have no interest in shelf queens, I collect cars to use them!

Parts are readily available for this car directly from schumacher, so its an ideal vintage racer.

Plus I much prefer having something a little bit more interesting that an old thundershot or boomerang..

Each to their own I guess...

I have no interest in shelfers either..! but if you are gonna complain about the price of "vintage" parts, don't go "vintage".. I merely suggested Tamiya as a suitable manufacturer due to the availiability of "cheap" and easily found parts.. if you really want to persue the "vintage" route be prepared to spend big bucks if you choose a make that is "interesting", that's all I was saying dude..! jeez..!
