Just curious if anyone is interested in my HB lightning 1/8 buggy as a roller. It looks a bit rough, but it's fully functional.

List of the bits:
HB Lightning 1/8 buggy roller
OFNA blazer tires/wheels
50T spur (can include 12T bell)
UE SuperMaxx shocks Front/Rear
Brand new axle carrier bearings
Heavy duty front shock tower (4mm I think)

I have a few spare parts for it:
Engine mount plates
46T spur
Full set of used buggy tires/wheels
Original shocks that need rebuilt (rebuild kits included, just to lazy to do it)
Rough body
Spare hinge pin holders
GS Axle extenders w/14mm hex and bolts

Here's a pic of it as it sits now. I'm not offering the engine or electronics, just the chassis and spare parts:

Now that I have the revo, I don't want to maintain 3 vehicles. I got the buggy because I wanted something fast that was tough and handled well. It was all three... but now that I have the revo, I don't see much drive time in it's future and I'd hate to let it just sit on a shelf if someone else could get some use out of it.

If there's any interest, I'll tear it down and take better pics of it.

EDITED: There was interest, so I'm posting better pics/descriptions.

1) UE SuperMaxx Shocks Mounted
2) Stock shocks need rebuilt, rebuild kits are included.
3) Reciever box lid has broken hinge, but ziptie works well.
4) Servo plate has a piece cut out to allow room for the larger spur.
5) Center diff raised 1/4 inch to allow for clearance for larger spur. I used aluminum stand offs.
6) Center diff has 50K in it. Front/Rear have grease.
7) Servo horn on steering is hitec, horn on throttle/brake is futaba.
8) Engine mount plates on buggy are cobbled up steel that I made. New motor mount plates included.
9) GS Racing axle extenders included. Also, 14mm->17mm hex converters included for these.
10) Stock spur included. 50T spur mounted.
11) Replacement upper arm included.
12) Extra hinge pin holders/carriers are included.
13) Servo mount/holders included.
14) Manual included (not pictured).
15) All axle bearings are brand new, not run. Savage rubber sealed axle bearings.

Like I said though, I haven't replaced much since I got it. It can take one heck of a beating and still make it's way home unbroken.

Tires/Wheels, non-dish are originals and cracked, dish wheels in decent shape. Hex's are good, no cracks to speak of.
