So who burned some nitro today?

[BenJammin]

Didn't burn any today, but I did spend the evening finishing up my latest marketplace purchase.

Carb clean, failsafe, x2 Etronix ET2070's, pullstart, shell, and numerous other bits and bobs and she's ready for her first outing (if the weather holds off). Engine has super good compression too. Winner. Also my first ever RC with AM radio gear

Also have an MT2 on the way from the same guy I bought this off. That one can keep me busy next month lol

I just got a new hyper SS from nitrohobbies. What body is that! It looks great. I hate the body my car came with and need to figure something else out.

Thanks mate, it's just an unpainted TQ Sport body that I painted black and trimmed up. Wanted to do yellow like the rest of my cars, but I wasn't sure it would've worked with the red wing. Had to modify it a little to fit as my Hyper appears to be older than anything I can find parts for

Can you post more pictures of the Hyper from different angles? I think the TQ body should directly fit the SS but I’d like to check some common interference points.

Been burning a lot of nitro through my new buggy. A gallon last weekend. If I’d bought a buggy and druggy before the nitro monster trucks Traxxas and hoi make, I might not own any of the monster trucks.

Buggies and druggy nitros are ‘da bomb.

As requested, good Sir!

Thanks, the major difference I see is the SS has a separate piece for the nose and a non-kyosho type front shock tower for the one piece body to slip on easier. I still think it is close enough that I can make it work. I'd like do a black car with a livery like the 78/79 lotus John Player Special F1 car. Then top it off with a hot pink or neon yellow wing so that I can better see front vs rear of the car!

I agree. Here are my two. I think for the way a .21 (or .28) engine works and how I typically use them, the buggys are natural fit for nitro.

Couldn’t agree more. They are lightning quick, agile, handles well at high speeds, it’s fast. I’m bought to dump a hyper 30 in mine.

Run my revo for about 1/2 a tank. Getting it tuned. Then broke it. Had fun with while it lasted. This is the third left rear shock it’s broken. Got heavier springs on the way.

Run my buggy afterward. Got to run it for the dogs too.

Little buggy action for the dogs.
