Hey SNRS4 you are totally in my neck of the woods. I live in Vancouver WA. Welcome to RCNT. Ok your pics aren't showing but I am sure they will soon. Later can't wait to see ur car.

 

[snrs4]

Right on , you must frequent a-main, can't wait to run on their track next year, gonna try to build a truck for the dirt over the winter.....

Actually I haven't been to A-Main as of just yet. I am dying to go though. They actually have an indoor nitro offroad track. Just what we need up here in raintown.

I went ahead and uploaded the pictures onto my account so everyone can see them

Any plans on a 2 speed tranny?

The kit version came with a 2 speed. My brother has the exact same car. One thing is for sure, even when he put an OS 15cvr-x in it, it was still a hog. It moved but not fast enough for my taste. Then again, it still had the stock gears in it. Kit needs a lot of hop ups, but that's my view.

Dude that's a nice lookin ride. Yeah diver I have to agree that HPI's usually take a lot of hop ups to be even somewhat competitive let alone fast. I for one know that about the HPI type SS and the HPI Nitro mt. However I still spend the darn mone to hop them up. I guess I'm a fool like that. Kwong that was really nice of you to do. Thanks man. :bow:

 

[snrs4]

thanks alot for hosting man, it was a theforumisdown hosting, they usually seem to work, maybe I did something wrong. Anyway, the car was a kit not rtr, and it does take alot of hopups to make them quick. I am not at all impressed with the handling of the car, it is reallt sloppy for 4wd...tons of oversteer, drifting guys would love it. Any suggestions on how to make it handle sweet would be great, I was gonna run real high weight shock oil and maybe try to get something better than the hpi slicks. I have changed a lot of things to aluminium and will be changing all teh hub carriers this weekend. I want a savage:bling:and a 2-speed...coming soon, the car is hard to drive now though I'm not sure how much faster I need it to be...handling first

:whack: Thats a bad diver, lol, J/K. That kit owns it seems. It just looks mean as hell. Speaking of mean looking cars, did anyone see the 1/5 scale in RC action that had the moto X looking exhaust pipe on it, BEEFY....OH and how are those slicks holding up, is the life span on those pretty good?

 

[snrs4]

the slicks hold up ok, there are several different kinds avaliable from hpi. I have been searching high and low for treaded touring tires in the 2.2 size forever, If anyone can help it would be appreciated. I ran the car yesterday and had it handling better, more hop ups are in the mail ill keep ya tuned.... I also just finished a body today, very happy with it though it is very basic. If you hade a lambo would it be 4 colors or black:beer:
