Well NAT seems as we have the same luck on RC's! Dont know much bout the bob cat, but its got aluminum shocks and schumacer is a good brand so bet there are parts out there. Have u seen the "Rusty rusty" post?

Thats hot.-paris hilton:D lol. thanks taylor i hope to mount the rush evo wheels on this boss cat and replace the shell . :D

[notatoy]

hi guys ,well i fitted up the rush evo wheels today using a method that i have used in the past and seems to work well ,i cut the existing rimms in half leaving there inserted hex fitting in place ,then with very strong glue stuck the evo wheels to them .it gives the truck a wider stance , and also saved on buying new rims and tiers , i also made a modification to the chassie to hold stick packs . one holder is glued in place while the other is fixed down buy Velcro and two straps are placed around the batterie and undearneath the chassis, here some pics .thanks ...http://rcdriver.com/forums/%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM0008-8.jpg%5B/IMG%5D....... http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/notatoy1/CRIM0007-8.jpg

bro your entitled to your opinion ,i think it looks great once the white hubs are painted no body but this forum will know , the batterie a vapotex 7.2 volt 3700 mah .

Well yes it is my oppion. When the rims are black it will look much better. But didnt you see the "its looking really good part".

Sometimes, the body are repairable, but if this body asks too much work, better buy a brand new body .. or, if possible, a body worn .. Good luck in your search ..

PS ..
Your rims are superb .. black is better ..

PS ..
Your rims are superb .. black is better ..hi tex the material i used ,wait for it , is card board . cut to shape the glued and coverd with p.v.a glue ,it is very solid and much stronger than a lexan shell , i got this idea from a member of rockcrawler . who makes all his own bodys from card board coverd with p.v.a . and they are very strong . yes tex the rims are a improvment black it blends in with the running gear , iam not sure on the final colour of the body yet . i still have a littel fabrication work to do . thanks tex :D

[texx]

WOW .. new method ..:)

.It will be light and strong ..:D

Continuing your good work .. NOT A TOY ..

[LSXEric]

Well a black widow is a term that a all black dropped chevy truck. I copyed it to an idea to make it all black. But who knows a black body with a "hidden" black widow spider somewhere would be cool.;)

hi bro now i love chevy .lol , i did some test runs with this r/c boy is this thing fast , the down side is i need a more powerful servo to cope with the bigger wheels . tower pro should do it at little cost , i also think the belts need to be re tensioned , as the motor is spinning it heart out but not going to the drive , so a little work there . :D
