Ebay is probably your best bet....

I ordered mine from Hong Kong and have the full suspension kit, the tires, the new controller and a two speed car, which you may wonder whats the point BUT, when you've got a 3.0 motor you REALLY need the two speed to lay the power down :D

The new mutli channel controller makes the old one look crapolla (and the range is far better).

And with the two speed chassis my Evo 7 drifts better than my 200sx :)

Cheers chappies :D .

Dave, nice collection you've got there ;) . Where the hell do the springs go though :confused: , I thought the only suspension upgrade was the front plastic roll bar?
Have you lengthened the antenna on your car too?

Vez, have you had a go of one of the multi-channel controlls mate? One of the things I dislike 'bout the original controller is the digital microswitch buttons, does the upgrade controll have nice analogue ones?

Oh yeah found this site which seems to be quite good: www.microracers.co.uk

As has already been pointed out Ebay, HLJ and toyeast are the places to buy these. The new Wild Char-G's look like a good larf. I also have some ZipZaps which are pretty good as well and you can get fast and the furious body shells for them and NOS motors!

Cheers

Hey mate,

Yeah you can only put the springs on the front, I bought 2 pairs :)

Yep, the aeriel on the car has been replaced. This and removing a capacitor from the controller has given me a range of about 40' :D

I've also got a ****ty Toyota BB Opentop thing for spare parts :) Cost £7 from HLJ (sale ;) )
