and mine!!! Since I already have the BLUE aluminum/anodized shocks and mods accessories....

 

the aluminum parts are bad ass but it might turn into a shelf queen with all that bling...
ive done whole aluminum thing and it may be bad ass but an rc car chassis needs a lil bit of flex to avoid parts from breaking.
as for the bandit vs a rustler, get another rustler.. bandits are a bit narrower and at high speeds a slight wheels correction will flip and barrel roll..

 

+1 IMO also on both subjects u covered....

 

well... finished my new body... I was expecting it to come out a lil different then what it did...But it still str8 custom! and sweet ass!!! I was looking for more of the darker cameleon color change like the SVT COBRA MYSTICHROME... But it did not work out...But TRIAL~N~ERROR... I think I know where I went wrong and what to do next time... Pics of results to come soon.... Thanks!

 

Ok... as mentioned before...I was shooting for MYSTIChrome look... First cut the front bumper and roll cage located on rear bed area with INDY SILVER. Then base color chosen was PURPLE CRUSH (which almost looks just like the SVT color) only I applied only 2-3 very light coats...Then backed it up with CANDY APPLE BLUE... Final backing color is metallic silver called INDY SILVER... End results came out to a baby blue cotton candy pearl... Next time I know now to go heavy on the PURPLE CRUSH and 1-2 coats on CANDY APPLE BLUE or none at all and finish withy INDY SILVER only... We will see next time... Not what I was shooting for but still very NICE in my opinion... what u guys think???

 

Mounted pics coming soon after I tap holes for body mounts and pins and hand cut and paint the front window glare strip.... Thanks!

 

I think this is my NEXT purchase... HPI Vorza BRUSHLESS. I want a 4 wheel drive brushless electric buggy...And this is one I have done some research on and is quite the kit! Build from the design of the WORLD CHAMPION HB D8...

and I am buying this FAST LIL FUCKER for my son... Traxxas REVO 1/16 BRUSHLESS

http://towerhobbies.com/products/traxxas/trad18.html

 

do you take you car to a track? if so go with the 1/8th scale. if you bash and track the car go with the slash 4x4..... but check out jammin scrt10 or the ofna sc10.. based on a 8 scale chassis but made for short course...
as for the revo 1/16 they are fun but they get old quick, too small of a car to handle high speeds and aggressive jumps

 

also its a matter of preference but look in to the losi Eight-E buggy, best car ive car owned

 

yeah...The REVO 1/16 will be for my son...Just to make sure he will be into it...
