Another noob needing help identifying his 1/10 bug

[gazza667]

Hi all. I've recently got in to nitro rc & picked up a 1/10 buggy off ebay for a bit of a bargain. But I'm having trouble identifying the chassis so i can get spares for when the inevitable breakages happen. Engine wise is'nt a problem. It has a SH18 fitted.
It was listed as a Pro-Line Nitro King Pro but I've not seen anything through Google that is similar enough to be able to order any parts for the chassis.
So I'm hoping some of you more experienced guy's could help me out with what to look for I'm after suspension parts first of all because the front wishbones & drop links are very poor quality plastic. I've already broken one of the front wheel carriers but managed to modify it back to working order.
Thanks in advance

Well i wont question your username Cuz you hit the jackpot with your link my friend. I now have all the info & part numbers i could wish for. But more than anything you have helped me answer my next question. From the day i bought the bug it has never ran sweet. I've followed the info on the SH Engines website to tune it but always have had a problem with it either not idling correctly or losing top end. SH say the HSN should turn out 4 complete turns. The user guide from Himoto say 2 1/2 turns so i will try the 'correct' way tonight & see how she runs.
I cannot thank you enough. Well actually i can but dont want to look pathetic

if you know the engine is an SH and they say 4 turns out, your probably better going with what they say. i would trust the engine company over the car manufacturer. the SH could have been installed after the original owner bought it, it may not be the stock engine.
