I think Radio Shack hit the jackpot releasing muscle car bodies, and doing it right. (nice detailing, and not sitting so high in front)

Seems like everybodies getting a piece of this action. You know I had to get in on it. Borrowed money from my wife the second I seen someone post a pic at TRC. Called her at work, and said, "Hey, I need $10 like right now. Yeah I'll do the dishes whatever, I just need the money NOW."

I'm just hoping that Radio Shack still has some of those new tuner sets in stock by the time my payday rolls around. I'm hearing the 3.4 is quick, and for the price they sell those it's a pretty good deal for the bodies motors, and gears sets.

Oh well at least they always have plenty of 350Zs in stock. I hope the PCB in those is as good as everybody says. It still too bulky underneath to dual cell without having to flip the board.

i picked up the tuner kit at the same time as the body set, still haven't gotten over how damn sweet these muscle cars are! i mean they are the epidemy of Bling

I still got my 350Z chassis unused, I bought the damn thing for knucles and hubs...

and the chassis sits on my shelf still a virgin lol, from wht sessiz said the new PCB is supposed to be sooo much better!

I drove by a dealer the other day..and one was on the lot.
I'm looking for good gas milage, 4-door car, this car is not that.

this is true, it's definetly not built for economy... all out balls to wall fun!

Anybody else notice a difference in handling with the dodge?

I just got the skyline body yesterday.

The day before I got my 350z MS body from tower hobbies.

I got the clear body in the shop.

That sure is a sparkly silver on that Skyline. That body needs to be lowered. That will work out well on my chassis with lowered tabs.

nox -

You asked for it, so here you go, the best description of the tuner kit is "Binggity-Bling-Bling -Bling"! Just like dave said for only $13 you get all this goodness, what a deal!

The bodies are great as far the detail goes and durability... i'm not too crazy about the Mits., but then again I bought the kit for all the other goodness! The Evo sits nice on the chassis and the lime-gold finish is the bomb son! The 3.4 purple monster is awesome for the single celled hoopties, way to much for dual's... unless you enjoy flipping your ride all over the place lol

.
The 2.8 orange motor is a nice addition to have for the dual celled whips, it adds what the 2.1 was missing. I'm using it right now with a 12:1 gear ratio and am having a blast in my Yenko, later on i'm gonna swap back to the 2.1 and use the 9.86:1 ratio and see the results of that combo. I've got a feeling that my dual will be even more controllable at that point, will let you know. The tires I never really was a fan of, I tend to us Bit/Ms tires because they have better surface coverage than the ZZ. And as far as the remaining parts, the gear-sets, hub-caps and spoilers... well they do their jobs well. The only thing missing from this kit is the stabilus set, and a extra set of front knuckles and hubs (still searching for them

) that would've been the cherry!

Sess-

I was in a trance when I scrolled up to that pimp-ass ride lol! You're totally right, RS should jump on that shit kwik lol.

Cabo-

You're in bro, so tell me how'd you like the rx-8?

Post by **CaboWabo** » Sun May 18, 2003 10:11 am

I love the rx8!...
but now that I see that drop top up there...
damn it! lol
another friggin body to buy - this is bad.
I'm gonna be spending all sorts of cash on ZZ's now as well as bits.

I'll be homeless in about 2 months lol
