Hi There,
I'm sure you can find some pare for this great car.
For the front wheel, Mugen/Kyosho wheels can fit, you just have to reduce the axle kingpin length of 2mm. Recent Serpent wheels can be adapted without any modifications, same width.
To reach a correct rear width with Mugen wheel, you must put the plastic thick washer (or aluminium version you have this option) in front of the inner bearing.
(first on the wheel shaft) instead of on the outer side.
Then, you also have to cut a bit the rear upper arm and screw it without any camber extra washer.
Some HPI R40 or Nitro3 parts can also fit the shock absorber body to mount a ball end instead of the kingpin cap which stucks the suspension freedom once you tight the M3x3 screw.
R40 alu pinion gear also fit the Proceed clutch bell. Very useful on small tracks as the smallest 1st pinion is only 17teeth. R40 starts at 15teeth.
I also know that the R40 complete gear box can also fit after few modifications. But the standard one is ok, a bit heavier but ok.
Last tips, you can adapt a big black Kimbrough servo saver instead of the standard one which "delay" the reaction a bit.
PM me if you want some pictures.
Cheers

bunch of proceed stuff
I too have quite a bit of proceed stuff.......complete car and some tires and spares. I also know someone who had collected a bunch of rims but you would have to mount the rubber. My car had a few Delta upgrades and the car was good. PM me if you are interested and I can get it out and give you a better idea of what I have. Have a good weekend.
