looks pretty cool in the vid with the fenders flyin off!
:willy

Almost looks like the real thing, they just need two little drivers that jump out and fight when the race is over.

They could do the same thing with NASCAR bodies and drivers that get out and whine when the race is over.

The body looks pretty cool, but the way I drive, I would where out the fenders from taking them off and on :tmb

I seen it and the first thing that came to mind is why? How many people bashing are going to deal with picking up pieces everytime they hit and then how many people racing ar going to do the same. That is going to become real tieing after a short time before they say " I should of bought the whole thing."

 

[cpe mt]

If you can put the pieces back together after a race and reuse the body, then this is a great idea. Why would you want something like this? Cause it matches what the real trucks do! I wouldn't use it on a basher though.

All that being said, if these come apart and can't be put back together this becomes an expensive proposition to replace after each heat race.

great idea, at least in theory.

I wouldn't get one, I'd never have panels on it after a half lap.

Now re-generating panels that grow back every time you pass the starting line, that would impress me enough to buy. :allthat

Now that would make a lot of ooo's and aaaaaaah's at the Bradenville race if everyone had one of those bodies; the turn marshall's would be really afraid to go out on the track. Blown tires; exploding batteries, and now flying panels. ...... :tmb

'The first RC body ever to breakaway at the fenders"


I have been running break away body parts on my hpi racerKing for a few weeks

 

[joe]

id be all over a body like that if they had the inner fender linings still there after the pieces fell off!

 

[JimmyG]

my pieces would get mixed up with somebody else s...

I wont buy it.

Just get everyone to paint the truck solid black no decals. :rof I can hear it now, "hey which truck is mine" as 8 black trucks go barreling down the front stretch.

You could write your initials on the back side of the panels.

It would probably be fun racing, but it would be more stuff on the track to pick up. Or if the velcro doesn't fully let go you'd be dragging it around or it would get caught up in your, or someone else's truck. Also after the velcro gets full of sand or dirt it wouldn't hold very well.

It's not very practical for bashing. I know I'm not real fond of walking after the truck when it flips over, never mind picking up panel pieces. That would like, quadruple the walking.

I pass on this too.

 

[BillH]

I like it just not sure how pratical it is. How will the panels hold up after being run over?

 

[riddle_dis]

after racing mine for one season looks like that anyway for free lol!:tmb

 

[M AnderStorm]

I think this body is an awsome Idea. I like the realism. Maybe I'm the only one, but If I had a slash, I'd buy it. I'd also like to know how the fenders are being help on.

It also states full length feature film comming soon. I wonder if they'll get Tony Hawk and Arnold Swartzenager to be in it? Hopefully they won't use that idiot Ben Stiller or his moron buddy Owen Wilson. I can't watch anything with either of those idiots in it.:spaz

 

[Paul S]

We were talking at the hobby store about having a demo derby with these. Every body has to run this body, and last one with all their panels wins!

^ sounds like a fun race. get some video!
