These seem to be quite a deal, on sale all over the 'Net, $80 off MSRP.

seem to be very little parts back up over in the uk for them :-(

it is the same as an FTX Blaze or the LRP version, so spares should be easy enough to get, although Phatbodies do an SC shell for it.

Just so you know, most if not all Duratrax branded mini's are manufactured by Anderson who also makes up most of the same products for LRP in Europe.
The Vendetta lineup is basically the Shark/Blaze over there, and the SC truck I listed is based off the same Vendetta (new longer chassis, but the suspension is all buggy) -- so parts availaibility in the UK should be a piece of cake.

is the lrp shark still classed as 1/18th in the uk i think it is 1/16th under the new uk micro brca dimensions i may be wrong tho ??

Seems silly to consider used, when you can purchase brand new (for the "sale price").

From what I've seen on the 'Net there are a ton of hobbyshops in the UK you should be able to pick up spares, let alone the rest of Europe, in addition any LRP dealer should be able to order most anything you'd want.

[ianhaye]

have you got any links? cheers

[rocketrob]

I'll give you a start, but from there you need to do some searching on your own
