RE: My new ride
Posts 18-25,talk about thread hijackng,you ignorant tw@ts,why not make your own threads instead of poncing mine???[:@]
Anyway,for the more polite members who've partaken in the thread,I apologise for the rant but that is a pet hate.
OK,for the question.I need a little help choosing a new shell or two,i've been considering the HPI Rubicon Jeep,HPI Land Rover and the Proline CP2 Quicklidz.I was going to do the quicklidz in fluro green to match the green velocity wheels I have,I like the prefitted graphix that the quicklidz has and should break the green up enough not to look to much.I deffo want the Jeep shell,I think the Rubicon Wrangler looks great on the Revo as does the Land Rover and '73 Bronco shells but I have a rear wing and I dont think it'll look good with the last 2 so thats why i've gone for the Jeep with Tamiya Metallic red paint,black accsents and silver rollcage.
The second shell is were I can't decide,do for the Land Rover or the race look shell the quicklidz with Fastrax fluro green paint,the Crowd Pleazer I have is for the 2.5 shell and i've gone back to the 3.3 shell,I just couldn't stop the truck from wheelieing,even with the slipper,the engine is awesome and I wasted two guys who had Picco.26's in their Revo's.Anyway,i've just bought a set of 23mm Cheyenne rims with Proline 40 series MOAB's,thats why I want a good looking shell like the Jeep,the best of both worlds,MT style for show and general running and the CP2 shells and 40 series velocities with bow ties for bashing.
So guys,what do you think I should go for,a second MT style shell or the Proline CP2 Quicklidz to go with the velocities for bashing...??? I'm also gonna get a full cage in a few weeks....Cheers fellas....

RE: My new ride
Cheers dude,it different I think.Just done a mod to stop the rear of the chassis bending upwards and the rear tower snapping around the hingepin cap area,got to complete it when the Jato turnbuckles i've ordered turn up,it trashes the rear of the chassis when landing on the rear wing if its misjudged,the Traxxas mount has a lot of force on the rear over the Tekno mount I used to use... Got some new green rims and Bowties,edit head protector and Traxxas turnbuckles.gonna give the Integy HD alloy pushrods a try,fully adjustable and big alloy rod ends too.They do matching Turnbuckles too in blue or black,they look pretty good...
