WANTED: Parts for "TYCO" Radio Control Twin Turbo Lamborghini 1/12th

[Marino13]

Hey Poptart,

     I missed out on this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tyco-Twin-Turbo-Lamborghini-Fixxer-Upper-/160701279526?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item256a8aed26

I made one bid but when I still didn't hear from him I just let it go. Turned out to be a good thing because AFTER the auction he sends me a message telling me they ARE snapped in the same area as mine. I knew I had a bad feeling about him not answering during the auction. Glad I didn't get stuck with two broke cars!    

I see this INDY car but I don't believe it's a Twin. Plus way more than I want to pay and too nice to part anyway.

[Marino13]

  That sounds reasonable to me.  Thanks for the help.


And yes, mint, in box, never even charged up.  

[czstycor/c]

its in the box but it is broken? wow lame.

marino your description still throws me off, i really just need to see a picture of the whole thing, to see what you actually need.

The first eliminator I got for christmas had a light broke off the rollbar, I guess the guy at the factory that packed it wasn't to gentle. Everytime I buy a hobby grade kit there's always a part missing or broken so id believe his car came broken new. Maybe fedex delivered it lol

[Marino13]

Hey thanks Olds.  I hope there is NO question that it was a factory goof up. I was very surprised to find the part laying in the box. 

Luck of the draw I suppose. This was the not the only one I had ever owned.

And CZ here's you some pics to gaze at:

  AW man!

Is this what happens when a thread goes dead??

What happened to all my peoples??  

[Marino13]

 

Well, it sure has been quiet here. Did I say something wrong?? 

Poptart, I'm trying to be patient but I'm not seeing any donor cars out there. How 'bout you?

CZ, I see you're trying to sell your Lambo again. Hopefully, you get a buyer this time around. Seems to be in great shape.

Well, to everyone reading this blog, if you come across the part/donor car I need, please just let me know.

Thanks!

[poptart]

no buddy not yet ,,I'm still looking though everyday when i search,,, during the hoildays we missed this one

and just missed this one the other day

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tyco-R-C-Lamborghini-Countach-9-6V-Black-Nice-Used-/260933087373?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item3cc0d2f08d

[Marino13]

WOW!    

Not sure how I missed those considering I have several saved searches on ebay for the car.

Seems like only one of those might be a Twin even though it is not mentioned.

I'm thinking I need a Twin to get the correct part.

Do you concur?  

[poptart]

yeah the saved search thing sucks Ive bought stuff and then it notifies me wtf right???,,,anyways i really dont think it has to be a twin

[Marino13]

Wellll.... if it doesn't have to be a Twin it would broaden the search.

 

Haven't seen any Indy cars either.

[poptart]

 nope me either not the old style you need

[Marino13]

Well, please keep a lookout!
 
             Maybe some day soon....

                                Thanks.
