Looking for some part numbers. Dakar-related.

[wunjee]

'Evening, folks. And happy new year.

I'm looking for part numbers on the following components.

1) Orange Dakar "Hummer" body.
2) Black/Orange front/rear wheels, with or without tires (preferably without)
3) Front/Rear body posts for above body

I've been waiting this Dakar H3-style body for the Slash since I first picked up my 1st generation Slash years and years ago. I've gone on to upgrade my Slash and it's easily my favorite rig, and I want this body/set, but I'm not forking out $300 for a new rig just for a body/posts/wheels..

So, I'd like to just get the body as a replacement part (hopefully with stickers not applied/on a sheet?), along with the matching wheels and body posts.

Are these available as replacement parts yet? LHS looked at me like I was crazy..

Looks like Tower has it in both colors. By the time you piece together the parts, you're not sending much more for the whole package.

That's $289.00 vs

$30.00 for a body
$20.00 for wheels
$10.00 for body posts

I'd rather just buy the parts and put them on a vehicle I've already got then buy a whole rig that won't get used at all..

I have three slash trucks,and with out trying to be funny,I rarely leave my lhs spending under $75,and I'm there four or more times a week.
But in my two tool-parts box's.I can completely build one and 3/4 slash's,But in the summer,racing for points,you cant be sitting there with a broke truck if you want that check and four foot trophy.

[wunjee]

Even beyond the spares, so much of buying a whole nother slash would be wasted.

I don't want the crap tires
I don't want the crap radio (I have a DX4S)
I don't want the crap motor or ESC (I have like 5 XL-5s...)
I don't want the crap battery

If it was $199 like the Slash originally was, then maybe. But at $100.00 more then the Slash's original introduction price, I just can't see paying for another full rig when all I need are the body, wheels and body posts.

I've also got a mountain of spares. ****, even before I got my Slash a few years back, I had a mountain of 'Pede/Rustler parts waiting for it. Lol.

I just want one of the bodies in clear so I can paint one! Usually it takes awhile before the parts for a new truck are available separately. I'm sure Traxxas will make them available to buy, given how many Slashes are out there.
