Is anyone running this new body? Apparently nitro bodies are starting to go the same way the GTP bodies did.. UGLY! I thought the industry was supposed to be going more Scale, and not just pure performance... Guess PF didn't get the memo.

I would rather have ugly than no down force. its nice just a little different in the front then my srs n body I am running right now.
-
This body will only be the beginning, it fits the global body spec, but there needs to be a balance of down force and scale. If the balance is lost, then the scale factor will never return. Did I forget to mention its ugly.

i might get a redcat racing lighting to race in the raceways i found one for 169$ but its base price is 500$!!!! what a deal!
-
if you guys are interested the car is on helipal.

Avery, watch out with what you are looking at. If you break something, you want a car that you can get parts for quite readily or else you could be sitting on the sidelines waiting for parts. If you are looking at getting a new electric car, then you should consider something like the rental car we are using, I know it is a little more expensive but the parts are of a higher quality. And you could probably transfer some of the electronics from your Traxxas which would decrease the cost quite a bit. Talk to Blake, next time you are out, he has just ordered in another couple of the kits.
-
stay away from redcat as the quality will not be as good as what we run RCshadow has a used xray if your looking for a nitro car
-
how much? i have a 300$ max
-
what motor?
-
i am mostly looking for a used nitro
-
if any of you guys are selling one plz let me know
-
should probably stop thread jacking poor shawn a little bit lol.
if your really set on getting nitro though, definitely consider glenns. or talk jarrod down to glenns price, so glenn will still come out and race it ;)
its absolutely required that your radio has a good failsafe function though. nitro cars are no joke and when they go runaway, thats a 2kg missle that can seriously hurt someone or property.
I strongly suggest electric first.
as for the body.. another option... nicer looking than the srs-n but if the properties are positive, it could look like a mac truck for all i care lol. Hope we get a Mazda 6 GX-N variant.
-
i already have electric race cars and i would like to move into nitro that is why i am looking
-
what is glens and how much?
-
So I'm thinking about ordering some of these, anyone else.
-
