Thank you very much for the info, and the offer Bow [bow]. I've thought about other kits for the wheels, Wal Mart sells some motorcycle kits by revell but the wheels/tires on those choppers arn't quite right, i may contact a company though, my dad used to do that when he scratchbuilt dirt modifieds and they were normaly more than happy to sell wheel sets

I think there were a few as addons in older kits, but they would be nowhere near what you are looking for.  Your best bet is to scratch the chassis, source some wheels/tires somewhere.  There are plenty of AM companies that produce small items, that would have appropriate wheel/tire combo's, and they might be pursuaded to part with just that portion of the kit.  The fender parts, would probably have to be vac formed or thermo formed over some sculpey.  I could probably scratch a frame, but I am horrid at sculpting and would never get the fenders right.  There are Radio Control quads out there by Kyosho, Tamiya, and a few other Hobby Shop Quality R/C manufacturers, however I think it'd probably be out of the price range since you need to save up for a guitar of your own.  If you lived closer I'd make you a good deal on one of my guitars.  Just needs a couple of potentiometers and the wiring done.  I replace the humbucker with a single coil for a different sound.  I am in no big hurry to get it running again, as it doesn't fit my hands very well, like my other guitar does.

One of my friends gave me an old guitar to learn and practice on untill I can afford my own and I'd like to say thanks by building a replica of her drag quad, does anyone know if anyone makes a kit of a 4 wheeler? I can scratchbuild whatever changes need to be made, i'm just looking for the basic chassis and tires.

Thanks in advance,

Alex
