15 year vet with RC trucks, both nitro and electric, just wondering if anyone else is into the hobby. I still have a few trucks, I've downsized to : Losi Nightcrawler, HPI Firestorm brushless, Traxxis T-max with a custom 3.3 and almost all aftermarket parts. I also have 2 heli's that I never use anymore. So anyone wants info on RC or conversation about parts, chime in.
i have an HPI Mini Recon. sturdy little truck. a 1:18 scale. always on the lookout for different bodies. im not too into the hobby though. i invest in my big cars.
@[member="El Duderino"] I never could get into the mini- carpet racer ones but they are cool, rainy day set up a jump off my couch fun looking. I have in the past had body shells for 1/10 that needed to be modified. I'm sure HPI body shells at 1/18th would fit, but you might need to change up the body posts to lower the shell over the frame, maybe even cut holes through it. I typically cut a few holes in the body shell, the windshield part, the rear window part and a few other holes here and there, then put plastic mesh hot glued into the shell. I also put money into my human sized cars, but chasing dogs, cats, and human cars with my little loud bastard is fun and, when you realize with a MIG and some sheet metal, you can make lots of replacements for not much, it gets enjoyable.
