Desert Rat "Carnage"

That is an awsome concept , but Velcro is no good, i had a losi mini slider with it that covered the battery, it lasted a whole month for me and could not get it to stick.
 
I might pick one up just for the hell of it. if all else fails the velcro is replaceable with better stuff
 
i think that is one of the best looking bodies with the panels on that i have seen might get it and just mount the panels perm.
 
I think it is a cool idea... but really, who wants to be running around picking the fenders off the ground after every race. I would just leave them off in my opinion.
 
It's a cool idea and all, just not very practical...but hey, what usually is in the r/c hobby, lol. It'd be cool to have if you had a sort of tubular frame underneath so it would look a little more to scale when the panels fly off and you can see the "frame" underneath.
 
Maybe if they put some kind of little string or something on the panels? Then you could drag them back to the pits so you can be lazy and not go pick them up? :p
 
I think if they made one for the DRT I would get it. I like the idea of it anyway.
 
I bought a couple of the Carnage bodies. Its like trimming FIVE bodies to carefully cut, trim, and dremmel the pieces to fit together as best as possible. I shelved the project and bought a regular Desert Rat..... afraid that I would be a target on the track. haha. Maybe sneak the Carnage out there unsuspecting with the same paint job...

LOL! That'd be my worry too. People would find out I have a body with pieces that come off, and they all end up wrecking me and then I'd have to run out on the track every time to pick up my pieces :p ...that, and my nice paintjob would get messed up.
 
That desert rat is one nice looking body. I don't need the carnage body... after a few laps around the track, it becomes a carnage body, the way I drive!

Same here, lol, my bodies don't look nice and shiny for long...I'm perfectly capable of screwing them up myself.

Yup, I just wouldn't have the patience to cut and trim one of those. Not to mention it'd be cool for the first 5 minutes, then after having to pick up the pieces half a dozen times, I'd say piss on it and switch bodies, lol.

When I was racing the T4 on a regular basis I would go through probably 2 or 3 bodies a season. I haven't had the Slash long enough to destroy the stock body, and am not racing it, but I bet I will go through at least one body before the summer is over. I am like you... beat the crap out of it, throw it away and start with a fresh new one. I can't imagine that picking up the pieces of your body all over the track is much fun after the first few laps. The coolness factor is way up there though.
 
The stock slash body is pretty tough. As we all know, slash's roll over like it's their job, and mine held up pretty good. It started cracking around where it sat on the rear body posts, so I reinforced it with an extra layer of lexan and some shoe goo. My next body will probably be a Jconcepts Dare or Proline Hardcore since they both use an extra thick lexan on theirs and I've yet to see one crack that hasn't been near flattened first.
