Hey guys. I bought my two sons Firehammer MTs for Christmas after much reseach. They both run and drive great. We've had a ton of fun with them. My question is this: When we need new bodies, is there a good place to buy from? Tower has an aftermarket one, but I'm looking for other options.
Thanks for any ideas.
Well, bodies are pretty expensive to replace, about $65 USD for a Firehammer body? And that is just for teh unpainted clear ones. (You might be able to find teh stock prepainted ones form teh factory, but those will be a bit more. So, $64 for the unpainted from Tower is really not a bad deal. Other bodies for other 5th scales can easily run over $100.
As fo how long they should last, they can last forever. Dont worry if the shells get beat up, if they do, they are doing their jobs protecting the rest of the RC underneath. Even when tatterted and torn from mega-bashing, the 5th scale bodies surprisingly still hold up and do teh job!
