Picked this up today.

I'm already envisioning a scene where the army is called in to the city because of all the chaos the bitPimps have created

Niiiiiiiicee. I am tempted to pickup one of those clones at toys r us. But I want to buy another MS pro 49mhz (since my current one is 27) before I start buying clones.

Sounds like a good plot for a upcoming episode

mpbiv you got the right idea!

I bought a camouflauge one for parts, I had plans to turn the Hummer into a Scottsdale Hummer (Scottsdale is the rich part of town just outside of Phoenix, and that's what I call the Hummers with the fancy paint jobs, and chrome rims, because I never see those things here on the Wess Side, anyways back to my original story...), but I had to break it to get it off the chassis, oh well. Cannonball bodies are always a snug fit, but this one was extra snug.

Unfortunately Cannonballs are a tad longer than bits so the bodies are not compatible. Cannonballs also have a 7.2:1 gear ratio, that's why the chassis is stretched slightly, to accomodate the 10-tooth pinion.

How's that Hummer run? I've had 2 cannonballs that were total duds, with great motors, and batteries, and I have one that actually kicks freakin' butt, and handles good too.

yea I noticed that body was tight. I was affraid I was gonna break it getting it off then discovered it was easier from the rear.

it actually runs good, so far anyways, only ran it once to make sure it wasn't totally bogus.

D'oh, Wish I knew that a month ago. Oh well, some superglue, and sandpaper, and we're back in business.

picked up the same hummer painted her yellow ,,bling bling ,,, the thing handles great only thing was the steering spring was a little weak nothing a nother spring couldnt handle,,, now she runs straight and returns to perfect all the time ,,,,,,,are the motors really 2.6s in these things???

I dunno, I haven't had time to test out the motor against any other motors yet.
I did try to fit the body on a bit though, it fit. Not perfectly and all nice and pretty, but it did fit and you wouldn't have to chop out anything to get the wheels to turn or whatever.

I've had 3, and the motors vary drastically. One is probably more like a 2.4, one is like a torquey 2.6, and one is so fast I keep getting it mixed up with my Perfection 3.8s, because they look exactly the same.
