Status: offline 		My truggy is now a strr. I got the big bore shocks and springs in and my lhs had a new long body for the strr in, just need to paint it. Ok, not a true strr, it has the bce extended chassis, seems like a plus. Will get track time this week and a money race this weekend.
I'll get pics posted in a few.

Status: offline 		Heres some pics, the upgrades were pretty easy to do, I just ordered the big bore buggy springs for the front instead of the ones for the truggy. It seems the front and rear springs are the same for the truggy.

Status: offline 		Man that looks good, especially for what it has cost to you up to this stage. Are they wide offset hubs on there? Once it has some track time in it's current form, let us know how it handles, especially the difference the shocks make to overall handling. (love the look of them)

Status: offline 		It handles great, the blue springs were way to soft along with the 400 and 450 shock oils, so I went to 700 and 750 (front/rear) oils and green springs. Those are off set hubs, had to go back to the stock ones when running the losi 8ight T rims.
The new strr body is on a mains web page, strr body and this is the str body. Ive been watching ebay for the strr body but havent yet seen them and the str bodies are going for more than a main wants. I like the look of the older str body but I did buy the newer one just to have one.
The truck is great, and with the big bore shocks, the whop sections are like little ripples.
To bad the race season is almost over, I'll have to just upgrade more for next year, ceramic bearings are next.

Status: offline 		Well thanks for the info!
and I agree with you the older is more like aggressive! but the newer body it is more for racing,because of its easy acces to the engine . When I bought my first body I can't cut the hole for the glow igniter!
I'not into racing yet because of time and distance of my nearest track! but the good thing is that I contact the guys in charge of the track and they told me I can go any day I want for practice.But I'm still working six day a week for this month so let's see what happen and thanks for the info.I'm not always post but I check the forum alot so see ya!

Status: offline 		I think I just got a smok'en deal off the net .... did some adding and it LOOKs like $2000.00+ plus for a cost of $500.00 .... ST-R roller racer with TONNES of upgrades... How do you post the smaller pics that inlarge. I have a few big pics .... but I didint wanna to be PO'd at me for BIG pic's. If this big pics are all right with the gang on here I will post them. I am glad I found this post, I am sure that I will have a few questions come next race season. I am sure that my TKO bearinged RB928 w/ JP-3 will hall this around like nothing, I will have to weight it but it only feels ike 7 pounds with out any running gear in it ( motor, servo's Batt etc.)

Status: offline 		Sweet, the BCE chassis looks like last years or the stock one, not the longer version. King head steering knuckles and rear brace. Just by the looks of the pics Id say you got a prtty good deal. The stock str kits are around 550 the the hop ups, 125 chassis 25 brace 45 knuckles, not to bad of a find.
Im guessing you run a Jammin' X1-CRT Pro , 2x HellFire SS , Savage SS, Thunder Tiger EB4 S3? Once you run the kyosho around, the rest will seem like tyko cars. I had a jammin crt then went to a mbx5t and now the kyosho strr, by far the best.
Run it like it is now, make sure all fluids are good (shocks/diffs) and then get a set of big bore shocks. Those are the best upgrade and well worth evey penny. Youll have to change the drive shafts front and rear to run them but its well worth it.
Nice find, ebay? Perfect size on the pics, post away.
