    Status: offline     		If you have the HPI deck you have to buy a flat pack.It's a tight fit as you can see and a hump pack will not fit in the desired area.You could always mount it somewhere else but it will the center of gravity and the car will handle a little different.

    Status: offline     		I think the HB deck is a little thicker but i'm not sure.I think the radio tray is a little different too.I remember reading somewhere that someone got a hump pack to fit on the HB deck but I can't remember where it was.I'll look around a bit and see if I can find it.

    Status: offline     		thats very nice. how do you let the engine breathe? it doesnt look like you have any holes. it looks really clean too. my body is an f-150 and it looks like crap. it has cuts everywhere and finger prints all over the place. lol o well. maybe my next body will look better. im thinking of getting a silvia body.

    Status: offline     		The body wasn't finished when I took the pic.I put a 2 inch hole in the front windshield and a 2 inch hole in the rear window.This body kicks a$$.I don't think i'll ever buy another type of body other than a Stratus.This thing has no wind resistance.With my other bodies it would slow the car down alot but not this one.I couldn't even notice a difference with this one.

    Status: offline     		yea i've heard many good things from the stratus body. the silvia looks pretty aerodynamic though. has anyone had one? how does it handle?
