Another Scale Racing Truck

[purpletimbo]

Speaking of scale trucks, what do we think to these two, The danny I own the Micky is here for a tune if I ever get a spare 5 minutes not raining

Very cool vintage Pandas. I haven't seen any of those in a long time.

Those are cool they were expensive. if I remember right for Panda cars, I see this kind of trucks really makeing an impact on todays Rc Hobby and they had it right that longago.

I did have another one as well, the newer version, older one came in a flat box and was single bottom plate, more modern one like the Mickey pictured was lower and upper plate and came in that small box, I still have the big boxed red one, but sold a small boxed one on a boot sale, to a young lad with $100 who was about 12 and was desparate for his first nitro, and that was his entire budget, so I did it RTR barring fuel for him, what a smile
The brown one is the later one I sold, but I do have a NIB waiting to be built Ferrari Testarossa on the same Chassis, single plate and purple alloy shocks as standard.
Panda later became Thunder Tiger, and these were the basis of the DT-10 series.

I'm just afraid the price will be monumental.
Nitro people will be happy I suppose this is a good thing for them.

damn i wish that was electric. sc8 or die.

[scr8p]

it's definately a cool looking truck. we'll have see how long it takes for the electric version. i'd HOPE there would be one.

Cool pix...and glad its nitro but hey, I'm sure it'll be easy to change over to electric. Novak will pry have a kit for it before the actual truck hits the market

ditto... hope it won't break the bank and hope there's a brushless conversion soon! Awesome looking! Even more scale looking than the Slash!

[badhoopty]

that is so cool.

is it rc8 based? i dont know enough about them to tell.

[bearrickster]

it looks cool but wouldnt it make more sence to build on to run against the Traxxas unless their trying to make their own class?

it's already in another class, compared to a traxxas.

[purpletimbo]

It should be about the same as a Slayer, size wise maybe?

Proline seem to think the Slash is here to stay

The new Hardcore Slash body delivers ultra hardcore fun with aggressive off-road styling, an integrated molded rear wing for added downforce and pronounced fenders.

Double coolness, from both AE and Proline. I am loving it. Now all we need is a track in Northern AL. I might have to travel to Bnglies place just to race.
