I picked up a Kinwald XXX new in box when I lived in the US in 2007, and wanted this Trinity part for it, but could not find a new one. I came back to the UK 2009 and have continued the search ever since. This came through the post today via an old friend in the US, the hobby store would not ship international. It was in the sale as well - $15 plus $7 postage. Yeah, maybe I'm a real saddo, but I would love to hear your stories on finding rare parts and what they were, or what you are still looking for - we all have a Holy grail, and this was mine!

Im still in search of a wife that doesnt moan,tell me what to do, tell me when to come back, yes you can have IT!! No you cant have IT!! etc.......

Been looking for nearly 25 yrs and cant fined one. I have tried many but still cant fined one.

Maybe one day I will, but I will probably be too old, deaf, cant drive, cant walk and too old to raise anything.........:thumbsup::thumbsup:

STILL LOOKING THOUGH !!!:D:D

For me, it's the Wasp alloy front transmission for the Schumacher XLS/Procat. I've seen two come up for sale in the past 18 months but missed out on them both!

Nice find, ive managed to get a shed load of spares for my vintage prototype directly from the manufacturer Kyosho 20 years after they were made, they did a search in their own time for me in their hq warehouse.

LOL @ Mark's comment!:thumbsup:

Here's my holy grail - a pair of ribbed (Oooerr) pink rear wheels to match the pair of fronts I have for my 93 WCS Masami tribute. Annoyingly a few sets went through on ebay a short while ago, but I just wasn't on the lookout for Yokomo parts at that time :cry:

I will also need a pair of the red wheel dots to go with them.

Luckily the car looks OK on the wheels that are fitted, which are white ones dyed pink... but the colour isn't quite the same as the original Yoke wheels.
