I see an XGames event in the making here. Bernie, can you add some dirt areas to the onroad track once a year?
My new used toy... - Tex - 08-08-2006
you can't be serious Dave, add dirt onto the on-road track? ok you can be the one to come clean it up when it's all over with...lol

i think you can get bodies alot cheaper than that, but it wont look like the nice rally car version with all the graphics on it, those are expensive

Once a year....hell, I'll help clean it up....it would be worth it to see a race like those xgames guys ran! That was wicked!

The Kyosho bodies are expensive (around $100 painted from Kyosho, $50 clear) AND the clear bodies from Kyosho don't come with ANY decals. The Ofna Ultra GTP bodies fit perfectly though, and are much cheaper.

forgive my ignorance, but are these just 1/8th scale buggies basically?
I know the tires, bumpers and shocks etc are diifferent, but basically an 1/8th scale
My new used toy... - Ponch - 08-08-2006
Yeah
My new used toy... - thenewguy821 - 08-08-2006
Yeah George. You could change the shock towers, shocks, bumper and take out the 2-speed and you'd have a buggy.
My new used toy... - cemeb4dk - 08-08-2006
does it run with a normal 1/8th clutch. I assume it has a 2 speed bell on it.
Will leisure hours run a 1/8th class, or are these just for parking lot fun
My new used toy... - thenewguy821 - 08-08-2006
Correct, it runs an 1/8 scale clutch, with a 2 speed bell.
Parking lot fun??? These things will go almost anywhere. They'll handle some decent bumps and small jumps, NOTHING like a 1/10 scale on-road, or even a regualr 1/8 scale on-road racer.
Hopefully Bernie will have a class for these. I know they won't run with the 1/8 scale racers, they are not suited for the same type of racing. If nothing else, I am sure they'll be able to run on practice nights.

The Booker brothers have them too... I think the ones they have are ofnas... There are two more for your class
My new used toy... - cemeb4dk - 08-08-2006
So who all has one?
can you tell my interest is sparked...LOL
My new used toy... - thenewguy821 - 08-08-2006
Firesprink, Me, SixVi6, Eracer, and I guess the Booker brothers (Whoever they are) lol
They are a lot of fun. Unlike most on-roads, you don't have to have a prepped surface to run them. ANY paved surface, or fairly smooth dirt surface will work. If you raise the body, and adjust the droop, you can run on rougher surfaces.
My new used toy... - rocco79 - 08-08-2006
tim and todd booker. Im sure you know them
My new used toy... - thenewguy821 - 08-08-2006
Maybe if I saw them. Off hand, the name doesn't sound familiar.
My new used toy... - rocco79 - 08-08-2006
Yeah your prolly right....
My new used toy... - cemeb4dk - 08-08-2006
anyone got a lead on a used one.
My new used toy... - rocco79 - 08-08-2006
just what you need ... Another toy...
My new used toy... - cemeb4dk - 08-08-2006
I can see it now, we can stand by the fountain at the fh and race the parking lot loop
My new used toy... - rocco79 - 08-08-2006
LOL!!!!!!!!!! Thats why you cant get one! Cuz ill have to get one!
My new used toy... - cemeb4dk - 08-08-2006
