Yes, I know there was already a link posted. But sometimes the links don't always open or open very slowly. So I thought I would post the info and pics so that people wouldn't have to click the link if they didn't want to.

Well I was going to get the SS buggy and build it this winter but I can see one of these things will be even better cause I am a huge truck fan.
Awesome
They need to make it SS so I can build it myself

and i really think how they used phillip screw clutch mount bolts was a really good idea NOT NOT NOT..

well okay so they are torx screws , still its better to have allen key bolts , even with the allen hex bolts it was quite hard to get the bolts undone

Those are Torx screws, not a bad idea at all.

RamTech won't have any problem selling his bodies, HPI body will be over $100, not to mention all the other parts needed to mount it.

I'm surprised they don't have that info on site, they are very good about giving dimensions and details.

In other news I do like the new tires, that's something that could be of benefit to 5B owners as well - never hurts to have more tread patterns on the market.

I'm a die-hard nitro fan, and normally refer disparagingly to gassers as "lawnmowers".., but this is different.. This is easily the coolest gasser I've seen(the only..) Looks good, and looks like it can take some decent jumps.. I'm interested...
