RE: My New Machine
Bryan, If ya stay on that couch it will lessen the chance of it being 4 to 1..I did the gun thing too and she never said a word, matter of fact if ya knock on the door after hours and I'm not home she will answer pistol in hand. I am out numbered two to one, and yes the damn dogs are female too. Guess that makes it 5 to 1...now I'm depressed, well, another truck to cheer me up.............

RE: My New Machine
Hey Lever02,
Your truck will be able to take a pounding with all of that alloy, but if you ever have a roll over, that brittle plastic wing on the back will be the first thing that will break. I've got the FG leopard; after my wing shattered into 5 pieces on a low speed roll over, I replaced it with a HPI baja wing and it fits perfect. It was only $10, it's very flexable so it will handle a crash with no problems.... no modifications required..... just mount and go!!!!!!!!

RE: My New Machine
The car lists for $1550 and the sensor was around $400. (RCNutshobbies)The radio came today and it's gonna be cool. The car came stock with the Z230 and a samba pipe. They swear it will run 50mph out of the box. We will see.

RE: My New Machine
nice looking car the mamba.
But verry bad built.
First u got to replace all screws.
Because when u take it apart 2 times,you can trow the screws away.
Look at this pic:
But overal it is a sexy machine!!
Why didnt u buy the hormann ht1?
Thats a verry strong machine,and verry well build!!!
But the mamba is also a nice piece of work,only those damn screws.
Dont know the quality of the alu do.
