Oh, you bet, I'll probably get 2 now, one to modify, one to keep stock, and I'll keep modifying the stock one, so, I'll keep going back to buy more. :lol:

did anyone else get a viper? i got mine today and it is noticeably faster than my other se's. i thought it might be the motor, but i swapped it and the viper chassis is still much quicker than the older chassis.

steering is still solid, equal steps left and right and no stutter.

Don't worry, mine will be better. Like way better. Plus, mine is a bit body, not ZZ. Which is ironic that mine will be lower and sleeker, even on a much shorter wheelbase.

The Ford GT looks a hellalot better than the Viper.

I can't wait to get the Vette, they look real decent (without the chassis)
The Hummer ain't bad at all, it can be done up real nice 8-)
One thing I can say about RS is that these are very detailed ! Especially
the Hummer !
Yeah, they really should have done the H2 on a SE chassis and the GT on the OG Zip chassis... friggin retards
Tru Dat ! Tru DAT !

60-7547 Dodge Ram/Chevy SE Kit

Is it possible our hopes and dreams have come true and we can buy the chassis without the controller? Err, it's probably just a body set...

It sounded like just a body kit to me.

Good point. But I'd rather see them work on the chasis so any body will look good on it.

Yeah it's very disappointing, because most of the stuff they could do to improve them are very easy. i.e. lower the front tabs, smaller wheels up front than out back, etc. Sucks because some ZZ bodies have the best attention to detail I've seen on any small sclae rcs, yet the chassis' don't match up!! :-?

Whach you talkin bout foo? Haven't you seen my F-150?
http://bitpimps.lixlink.com/pages/phpFo ... c&start=15

...it's totally slammed, and that's with the PCB cover on still.

But then the new F-150 has a higher bed profile than most trucks. :???:

Still I think I'm gonna have a ton o fun with the Silverado, a Ram might be fun too.

I saw a blue GT40 at the local RS. They only got one in, and I didn't have any dough with me. The body looks kick ass. It looks alot better than the pictures. Now granted, I wasn't looking at it on the chassis, just in the package, but I think it looked nice. I saw the Viper too, it still looks like shit.
