I saw one at my LHS that thing is a beast, Remember to get rid of the little crappy pipe comeing out of the muffler, More Noise and POWER.

The owner of the LHS up here had one out already....it sounds like your running a chain saw.....but it does go..the only thing..while doing some small jumps off a dirt pile he snapped the right front shock shaft....and there are no parts out just yet to fix it...so now it sits on the shelf of the hobby shop missing one shock...which i might add are HUGE...the whole thing is huge...the air filter looks like a can of soup laying there.

Congrats bro, I know the waiting has been torture for you LOL Can't wait to read the report on it!

 

[Monkey Wrench]

My 5B will be here tomarrow...

Unless the UPS truck get's involved in an accident with one of those poaching old lady's and, while no one is paying attention, a band of thieving midgets calling themselves "Los Pequenos Hermanos" break into the disabled UPS truck and jack your 5b.


But I don't think THAT would happen, that just seems silly!

Nice rig Dog. Did you atleast start it up? Arnet the shock on the B5 very similar to the savages? I think I remember seeing the comparison of the 2 on hpi's site. Be sure to make a video.

Sweet ride Zandor.

I lost interest in it due to the delays and decided to get the Kyosho STR instead.

I feel the fire starting again however and I have a birthday coming up..........

What is up with people named Rob buying up all the ST-Rs? Congrats to all of you on your new rides.
