Any helpful hints from Sportline Owners
Hello eveyone, Ive been around a while but I usually hang out in the "nitro onroad" section. I also own an HPI Baja with a few mods. 30.5 full Mod ESP, RR speed steel gears and jetpro side pipe. I love this thing to death but I thought I'd give another 5th scale a try so I ordered an FG Sportline long chassis. I'd just like to hear from any owners or any one that knows about this car the pros/cons or anything that I must know about it and how I can possibly make it better. Im into speed and just straight out top end, so if anyone can recommend a motor pipe combo or any other help full hints, this would be appreciated. And like I love to say, money is only and object when it comes to the wife.

Hey man whats up ... I see you are in the need for speed. Well I have the Sportline 04 as well and I recently picked up a Tuned pipe from these guys.

They have all top of the line high performance parts and engines. I think that will be my next move once I have a little money saved is an engine and then I am set.

RE: Any helpful hints from Sportline Owners
Finest, Im not sure when the parts are coming in but I know the car came in and a few 2 speeds. I ordered that car about 2 months ago and it just came in, so I dont know how long it will take your parts to get here.
FGuniverse, i was looking at that pipe but I had to get some feedback before I bought. I dont need the chrome, so I guess i'll be saving the 100 bucks. Thanks
