Default WTB HPI Proceed

As the title says, I am looking for an HPI Proceed in good shape. I'm not made of money, but I will put some cash forward for a good example. If it has a motor that's cool, no radio required.

Thanks!

Just bought an unpainted Proceed body, I'm going to feel silly if I find nothing to mount it on...

Proceed parts are really hard to come by. I sold a like new Proceed last year, the buyer had a couple of Proceeds both complete and roller so not as much of an issue for him I guess. HPI did a poor job of supporting the Proceed when it was new so you can imagine how difficult finding spares is at this point. Awesome car but unless you are looking for a shelf queen you will be disappointed when in need of spares.

There's two new ones on eBay right now... but check out how few commonly used parts like gears, pullies, and a arms are available.

Thanks for the tips. I would drive the car casually, so I don't envision that I'd need too many spare parts, if any.

I have been in contact with a guy who has a very nice example with tons of spare parts, but the price is too high for me at this point. Perhaps I'll pick it up after a few more weeks of grading for an engineering class, or as a treat to myself if I eventually get a job offer...
