My new car pics.

[AC48]

Well its not a new car, but its new to me. I got it on ebay, its a HPI RS4. I traded for a new edition .15 FE and put that heatsink on it. I also added the header and tuned pipe, because the stock one is a piece of junk. Its not even shaped like a tuned pipe. The .15 FE also has a OS 10ER carb on it to help add some performance. I may be upgrading the engine come spring, but I'm not too sure. Anyway, heres some pics:

I'm gunna put a HPI Corvette C6 body on it as soon as I get a chance.

Nice car bro Looks like your going to need some new treads soon!

 

[AC48]

Yea, those are the tires it came with lol. They are pretty much completely bald. It also came with a set of HPI Super Radial that some good tread left on them but one of the wheels is broken so wheel is way out of balance.

Once the snow melts I'm gunna get some wheels and tires. I want HPI Super Radial because they worked awesome on the last onroad I had.

Nice ride bro, make sure you tune the suspension.

The C6 body should be nice. I am also going to do a C5 and a C6. I have a 1:1 C5 and I want to paint the car to match mine. The Viper will match my brother's car.

That's a nice looking pipe/header. Who's is it?

 

[Diver6127]

Be carefull with your receiver. I would put it in a balloon to protect it from fuel spills. I know someone that splashed some fuel on his receiver and it took him out of the Bmain. Better safe than sorry.

 

[AC48]

olds, the pipe and header are actually Duratrax, they are the stock pipe/header on the Streetforce GP2.

Diver, good idea. It will also protect it from water There is about 4 feet of snow around here lol.

Hey AC48 when isaw those pics i thought it was new until i saw the tires, Very nice ride i bet u can't wait tell the snow leaves, i know i can't wait tell the snow is gone, o wait i dont have any snow, and it was in the 80's today, lol JK. I'm just rubbin it in, hope u smoke some ppl in races when u get her on the tracks.

 

[AC48]

Yea, when I got the car it was covered, I mean absolutely COVERED with grease, I spent like 3 hours cleaning it and now it looks new

 

[AC48]

Alright guys,

I have ordered some new wheels and tires along with a HPI Corvette C6 body. The body will be painted yellow. I'll put up some pics when its done, but it won't be for a bit because it has to ship from Nevada to NH with ground shippment.

I can't wait for it to come

 

[AC48]

Corvette Body came and it is fully cut out. I just need to throw on some paint, drill a few holes and I'm good to go

I also got some kick ass wheels (thanks to hpiracer for helping me choose lol) and tires.

I should have pics up tomorow night for you guys.

 

[hpiracer]

aww I'm flattered ac48 your welcome any time..

 

[rossb]

Post some pics of the C6. Make sure you use the light buckets. I just started on the Ford GT that came with my kit. I am using light buckets for the headlights and fog lights.

 

[AC48]

Yea I am using the light buckets. Never used them before but I think they will look kick ass. The C6 is all cut out, masks are on and its already for paintage

I should have it painted tonight but probably not the decales. My C6 is in the same stage as your GT ross.

 

[AC48]

Here are a few, better pics will be taken after the posts are trimmed, touch up the edges a bit, and get it adjusted right. Heres how it looks now:

 

[rossb]

Looks nice. You need to cut some cooling holes if you want to drive it.

 

[AC48]

I know about the holes, I'm not guuna cut them yet, I think I'll keep this body as a show body and use my old M5 for driving. I don't run with a body that often anyway...
