Notice the gears on the chassis are on the opposite side. You can get a cuda from Muscle machines, but it's diecast. I think this is one of those. The chassis looks like a semi clone chassis with the rear wheels removed.

correcto sessiz10
i always wanted a cuda. i almost got a zip zap just for this cuda.
but the body is diecast. the bit rig came dual celled stock so right now it runs fine. im working on the axles, i tried the pullback wheels <-- a bit small, so im gonna put em up front and lego rear wheels will have to do. i have another cuda in a mold right now, im a noob to molding and casting, so i hope it works....if not i guess ill just have to upgrade the motor and mebee the batt. its pretty fast but those tires gotta go!

dr1zz If you're intrested, there's a guy making plastic casts of some of these bodies. His name is suntzu28, check my thread over at zip zaps forum. You can also use the MM wheels, and for some traction use spanky's tip up top in this thread.

i was at wall mart last night and they had these new cars called DUBS. there were about 5 different body styles, a esclade, suburban, van, etc. anyway they are diecast, and have kick ass wheels, crhome everything and are slightly larger than regular wheels. i didnt buy one, but they are only 2.99 so not to much for some kick ass wheels. they even have 1mm thick rubber on them so it looks like lo-pro tires...

Go MOPAR.... love the cuda....

You need fat, wide, slicks.

somebody help me or im gonna butcher some perfectly good parts 
oh yeah e got a dude out in my hood with a black cuda that looks just like that and hes got a plow on the front and chains on the tires. it looks like it came from a mad max movie but it is really fast and cool.
