    Front upper pin mount
    Front lower pin mounts(both)
    Rear lower ping mounts(both anti squat and toe)
    Alum steering knuckles
    Shock towers
    Alum caster blocks**ARE THESE NEEDED?
    CVD's - atomic
    Center drive shafts
    Front and rear diffs-atomic type 2's
    Center diff- atomic cs
    Motor mount- atomic
    Alum center diff mount set- atomic
    Slipper upgrade*** I have no idea what the deal is with the slipper!?!?!?!?
    Graphite top plate set- atomic????
    Alum or graphite steering ackerman plate
    Alum drive shaft cups for diff pinions (where are these?)

    You only have 10 days? You would be much better off buying a RTR and upgrading as you go. You should be able to find most of your answers to all your questions in the forum section. Enjoy!

    Rohit....

    I have a lot of what you're looking for, for sale in my post here:

    http://halfeight.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2508

    I have a Mamba listed for the esc but I also do have a Quark 33a that I could substitute for a little more money.

    Let me know if you're interested. Click on the link in my signature for my gallery for pics of my setup.

    By the way... the Eclipse chassis I have for sale can be changed to run in stock configuration with the motor mount on the left front instead of the right rear.

    The quark33a + wraith is very sensative to weight. For racing you want to make the car light. Stay away from alloy as much as possible. The only things you need in alloy are drive cups, drive shafts, and motor mount. I think the steering assembly comes in graphite, if not then alloy that too.

    Migs I'll trade you my complete roller for your eclipse. Then you can sell all those parts with a rolling chassis.
