Default Sportline 04 info?

Hey guys,

Has anyone had any experiences with these cars? I am thinking of getting one of these or maybe the FG stadium truck. I have experience with FG offroad, but would like to know how the onroad cars do. Any info would be helpful, thanks in advance!!!!

unless your going to use it on a track id go with the stadium truck it has all of the advantages an on road car, accept it can go off road. The off roaders are more usable in my experience. an off roader can be taken pretty much anywhere, whereas a on road can only be used on a track or a on a parking lot.

I have the 04 Sportsline CAT semi.

I can use it on any street, parking lot, rough pavement. It has a good amount of ground clearance since it's large scale. Anything but grass or dirt where the slicks don't grip.

I love both my large scales. I love the Semi on the pavement where it handles like it's on rails and is crazy fast, and I like my MT5 for tearing up the dirt and grass.

I have on road, i i have track that is near me, but i don't go there because i dont have a car, and driving at local school parking lot gets boring fast

so i am thinking to sell this and get stadium truck....but if i do get stadium truck...its all plastic....then i have to spend money to make it look all nice...i guess i will just leave this hobby behind...and she is for sell.

It is basically a matter of preference. It is easy to put on road tires on an offroad vehicle and run on pavement. Unfortunately you can not do the opposite with an onroad car. I have onroad tires for my leopard for when I need the rush of onraod driving which is not often.

the j&a mamba is full alloy and about the same price as a fg stadium truck - selling your onroad will go along way to funding that,i would keep your two sets off magura though incase you do decide to get a offroader...just a thought

If you go with an onroad car you can make them look like actual race cars

Where did you get those bodies and decal sets?

The bodies are available from inventory and 1 of the bodies was painted by a customer and 1 we painted ourselves.

Would those shells fit the wheelbase of my Sportsline Semi?

Obvioulsy new wheels and tires, but would it fit the chassis?

Thanks

Yes, you should be able to fit it with a few modifications.
