Re: ID this car
WCM .
From what I can see in the pic that car is the very end production of the first generation cars....

Re: ID this car
How do we know its a WCM? I contacted them and they said that its not but the guy I talked to was not there before the company changed hands. Whats a car like this worth?
Re: ID this car
The WCM company is not what it used to be... I don’t think they know much about the real WCM cars produced back in the days.
Every thing about that car is WCM without second guessing.. not many 1/4 scale collectors out there and each collector has different preferences...
Prices are wacky as hell right now.... I saw a pristine Alves sprinter sell for $1200 and then a junk one sell for $720 ...
I purchased a wcm sprint in similar condition to yours (mine had stock wheels) for $1200 shipped to my door .

Re: ID this car
This is not my car. It was offered to me in trade for my Raco Super Mod II which is a very rare car. Raco told me years ago that they only imported 2 or 3 of them to the US, others have said that was BS... I dont know, but I have only seen pictures of maybe 5 or 6 examples of the car. I also have an almost complete 2nd set of bodywork for it, the original pipe and a modified expansion chamber for it along with new in package spare parts. I need 1 servo mount for it.
Re: ID this car
I would keep the raco ... WCM sprints are easy to get

Hi Guys
I agree, its WCM! Steve got it right it's the end production of the first- generation cars. I have two and raced against many.
However, the wing looks to be from something else or possibly homemade. The nerf bars are upside down need to be changed from one side to the other. I have the same manual instruction booklet as Kaye. Nice clean car. Sprintdog

Re: ID this car
Was told this might be a "Joe Alvez" Sprint car. Anyone familiar?
Re: ID this car
Sorry it’s still a WCM.
Joe alves sprinters have specific features
Offset front torsion arms, fully circular bearing carriers for the rear axle, short side nerf bars with obviously larger diameter nerf and bumper tubes than wcm, Delara etc..dual cog belt drive system and billet aluminum cogs.
There is nothing about that car that is even remotely close to an alves car. Im surprised and equally concerned that anyone would call it an alves.
