Hi All -
I bought one of the RC car bodies and had it all done up to match my car. I thought it would be a fun winter project to now assemble the chasis and get it mobile. I have read that the Tamiya M04L is the kit to buy, but I am really having a hard time finding one. Ordered one on line last week and was just notified that they were out of stock and did not know when they would be getting anymore. This is the second time this has happened to me - and from two different sources. Is there another chasis that is available that will work? I am a total newbe at the RC thing. Thanks - Scott S Attached image(s)

Mine is on an HPI RS4 PRO chassis, very smooth quiet belt driven 4WD.

I bought mine ready done but from demick on here, here is the quote from when i got it "This was custom built by combining parts from an HPI RS4 Pro and RS4 Mini all-wheel-drive remote controlled cars. The combination of parts was necessary to lengthen the wheelbase and narrow the track to fit the body. This is a high performance R/C car with carbon fiber chassis, AWD, independent suspension, oil filled shocks, etc" Try Pm'ing demick on this board if you need serious details |

That is quite a expensive endeavor to do it that way I think. Nice its on a race ready chassis though, with a lot more hop up parts available for it. |
