Desert Rat "Carnage"

[slowngreen]

Not too sure what i think of this body, its a cool idea but more of a hassle imo. My buddy is running it and just ended up gluing the rear fenders in place.

Hahahaha. I was Reading on the website... "Breakaway body panels for full-scale carnage action" I Found that quite funny. I like the body, but I can imagine about the gluing of the fenders.

 

[slowngreen]

Ya they just velcro on so their not gonna last too long.

It looks weird without the pannels. jmo

 

[slowngreen]

I agree but in some cases its kinda cool, my buddy has it like i said but with ax10 shocks and super soft springs so its set up like a baja and has crazy travel wich looks cool with a missing fender.

Now that is bad a$$! I like that a lot.

i think if you were to replace the velcro with some magnets and stratigically place them so they dont mess with the electronics it would work better. but it is a really cool idea!

I think it would be cool the first or second time, but it will get old quick hunting down body parts constantly.

Great idea for a snake race though...last person with body parts remaining wins.

I can see that being a lot of fun, maybe even an RC Demo derby.

 

[slowngreen]

it makes some cool vid imo, check out the proline vid for it sometime.

 

[RusTLeRx350]

I saw that slowngreen. it does look pretty cool, but like mentioned above, it could get annoying going out and gather up the parts after a while.

Novel idea - but it probably won't do well in sales IMO.

Proline stole my Idea. I had the first "carnage" body MONTHS ago, after I busted off my rear fenders, I made little velcro tabs to hold them on, work like a charm, and looked badass! Start the race with a full body, but after a few hits you fender starts hanging off, looked really cool. too bad I didn't go into production...

 

[Mayhem]

I was looking at these on prolines site, it seems that it leaves to much open for damage after they pop off.

I'll pass.

 

[TeamGoNads]

has anyone seen some different paint jos done with these bodies?

 

[slowngreen]

ya I've seen a bunch of different paint jobs on this lid, i'll try to find some and link em. Some get indepth and look great.

 

[toolmakerman48]

i think it looks sweet

 

[abadk9420]

Looks cool but IMO that would just be pain in the a$$ going around picking up pieces of you body every time you crash, NO THANKS!!!!!

 

[h8z2luze]

LMAO thats one of the coolest rc videos. Especially at the end with the camera man.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Yea, the vid is cool, but still, that would get annoying after time.
