If I was looking to get on a podium id buy the pointy shoe box that is spam advertised to death it must not be that great or us sell more of em without having to market ur product on forums ud have enough money for real advertising


Really dude?

There’s no spam advertising of anything, what’s wrong with pictures of GT cars, bodies and happy GT racers in this forum about GT cars dude?

Instead of personally bashing anything, maybe try designing, testing investing and manufacturing a body that works; let’s see it. lol

O yea…. Andmaybe try making in the USA and available with a street peice of about $45 dollars too.

I’ve been playing and racing GT cars since 2007, when the first Kyosho GT’s hit the streets. I remember when Jeffrey Lin first raced the DM1s in Chicago. Having also organized the four largest GT only car races on earth and an avid GT racer doing everything possible to help grow GT racing, makes my posts far from any spamming.

I don't post weblinks to Ipanema's site; you've got google search for that……

Every small rc company out there will advertise their product all over different rc forums. THEY ALL DO. And thats fine with me.
But there is a huge difference between the ones who spam and does nothing else.... and the ones who sell a product, but will also contribute A LOT to the rc community... (In this case, jspeed and the GT community)

we don't have many bodies to choose from, they are not cheap.
So... ''this guy'' comes out with a new body, fits different wheelbase, looks cool, inexpensive, track proven, 141mph proven...

Too many haters.



+1, thanks dude!

the warrior that's sucks because if I'm wanting a sexy scale body I would never buy the warrior cause its base off no car just made to be a performer if there were true la mans scale looking body's made from ur company that would be another story.


Scale bodies costs money in licensing fees to be paid to the full-size car makers, that’s why only Kyosho does it.

There has been some “bootleg” copies of originals out there over the years, but they’re usually caught and get fined for copyright infringement, it’s always funny when they get busted too.

That’s why there’s not many GT bodies out there, so be happy that some people spend money to offer toys. lol

Partially agreed, all body design works of art are inspired from previously available cars; as is the case of the Warrior and should be evident if looked at objectively.
Its flowing body lines were envisioned to provide aerodynamic performance and look aggressive too.

A non-creative person could always try to make “knock-off” version of someone else’s research, hard work and vision to try to “make a buck”.
Sometimes a sense of integrity is the ultimate prize in the end.


Here’s a sneak peek of a new 325mm GT car body design in progress. It’s been CAD wind tunnel tested in simulation software to provide a very nice balance of low drag coefficient, down force and a sinister appearance.

All the best fellas!

Status: offline 		If Jspeed and Ipanema don't showcase it's boddies, how are people going to know about the options open to them? it's done on other types of forums, ie monster trucks, crawlers, etc,etc, so lets all share the knowledge and stop trying to shoot down one of the "small" company's responsible for GT racing. I still have my old DM-1 (1/7) scale, with the mercedes body for display, but when I want to run it, it sports a Warrior body painted black, why? because it works and I love the Daytona prototype look it has and it's alot cheaper than a stock body which are a lot more delicate. So lets support a "small" company that's looking out for us and is fanatical about GT cars, racing or bashing.

It's one thing when somebody says "hey, X is a good product, check it out..", but something else when it's like "hey, buy what I'm selling".. That is spam and should therefore be explicitly banned afaic.

Neal,

What’s up, hope you’re doing well building those great racing engines of yours.

Don’t you find it funny when you see a few of the same guys “hating” on some people, but not others?

Keep doing your “thing”; you’re an asset to the international GT community and much respected by many in it.
All the best to you Bro, keep up the great work!

This is funny since I'm not trying to "flog" anything as your post suggests.
Whats happens is that when ever I post a cool picture of the Warrior body, the same few "hater" guys attack it.
Then I must make sure they don't try to influence people to join their hate group.
This upsets them, because I always make it known that they're just "haters" who do nothing positive for GT racing. lol

As far as any “lists” of desired bodies, honestly I’m personally not looking to become a “rip-off or copy-cat” car builder. As a long time GT enthusiast and body builder, I have no respect for anyone that makes “un-licensed” replicas of someone’s work of art body design. Call it morals or ethical integrity, whatever, but being a “scab” is not for me.

Making lexan GT car bodies takes dedication, skill, knowledge and a pretty large financial investment to accomplish. When I read personally attacking “hater” guy posts being made by the same group of guys, it makes a person wonder if it’s worth making anything new at all.

The customer may always be right, but if you yell at the cook, he just might spit in your food, lol
Keep that in mind when you read “hater” posts or are at a restaurant ordering dinner, lol

You're entitled to your opinion, but your personal attacks are not doing yourself any favors.
Get over yourself and your "hate", the rest of us GT guys don't see it or you "hersavage" as a positive energy for our sport/hobby's continued growth.

When ever any of you GT guys ask for a new body to be created for your toy cars, maybe people should realize that very few are made because if people with attitudes like herrsavage. You all have guys like him to thank for lack of company interest.

All the best fellas!

Such long posts from you and nothing to show for it, lol

Lets keep it short and sweet, shall we…..
Go ahead and try to mass produce your own GT body.
Lets see it, don’t talk about it, just do it! Lol

Here’s mine, where’s yours? Lol



Looking forward to taking a look at your new body design C-Fraser..::HPI::..
