That thing looks fun man..


Might as well save up, and get yourself a nice FM Tx to go with it.

Drop a nice BL (Brushless) motor in, and watch that fucker scoot..


Nice ride.. More pics please as you build. You should just snap some in progress pics, and do a small "how to" review.. If ya want to that is....lol




silla :D

Yeah I'll do some in progress pics. but I'm not sure about the review..lol, too much work for me I'm lazy... but I'll do my best, yeah I'll try some drifting but I'm still putting it together, that stuff is time consuming, it should be done tomorrow, I'll have some in progress picks later...

don't get too excited about it's offroad abilities. it's primarily a touring chassis. you would want some sort of an inner body before you take it onto any dirty stuff.

How much would a brushless motor run me? I got this stuff in mind:motor, battery, CF driveshaft, bearings, suspension, CF chassis stuff, and upgrade any plastic crap to something better haha, and yokomo drift tires, but it's going to take forever to get the bearings replaced, If I want to replace every bearing I have to take apart the whole car..damn
Betty K what did you mean by inner body?
Thanks

it stops dirt and rocks from entering the gears and other sensitive moving parts.

that's my hpi rally, the inner bodies came with the kit. but you can get them separately and mount them on other brand chassis' with some modding.
re order part #7112 inner body set (rs4 rally)
