|  Bowler Wildcat
This is not the first Wildcat build on here. If you don't know the Wildcat here is a video that most of you seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLvlfAyduvA Here is the body that I order from England on eBay next to my X-trail for a comparison. This body comes with the spoiler now and either as Lexan or ABS like the one I purchased.   Goals:

Does any body have experience with RC Channel products? There rims do not use hexes. Their rims look real close to the 1:1 http://www.rccarparts.biz/product_in...5e62931be3ab3d  |

I built one a little while ago around a CC-01. It's one of my favorite rigs to drive for sure  Looks like yours should turn out great. |

I don't have any experience with the wheels but,if you decide to get them,RPP has them here.Would probably save you some money on the shipping and have them alot sooner.If I remember correctly,RCChannels shipping is about $25.00.Hope this helps. | |

Why, thank you  I couldn't find the exact wheels I used, I've found the exact same shape but in white. http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=50724 It's been a while, so I can't remember a part # or the model they came off. The Mustang Cobra R had the chrome ones and I think the Tamiya Xanavi Nismo GT-R had the same design wheel but in black. No clue whether the gray one was ever used on a kit. If you're set on getting the anthracite wheels, getting the white ones and painting them will not be a bad solution. Good luck with your build | |

Very cool to see two of these builds going on at the same time! I really like these types of trucks!

BTW, Wildcats are no longer Bowlers since Bowler has moved on to the Nemesis. Qt has the rights to the Wildcats now. http://www.qtservices.co.uk/Wildcat.asp I've looked all over for an axle pic and I couldn't find anything, are you sure the Black Widows are close enough to the 1:1 to be worth $300? |

hi, just wondering if you've ever brought the project any further? I've just started to build my own Bowler on a SCX but I'm not sure which tires to take. Most 1.9 are way to big for the body and whith smaller tires I might loose any ground clearance. |
