Here's a very nice General Lee someone made! At 45 seconds in he lifts the body to show the chassis.

that ending was hilarious. those smoke trails are identical to the real thing.

who remembers that video that someone posted a month or two ago of the rc general lee getting chased by the rc scale roscoe? is was like a miniature version of the show.

I don't recall the General Lee having a big ugly chrome wart on the hood, side pipes and misaligned graphics.

HPI and their stupid 1/6 scale molded into the hood blowers.

NO Charger had side-pipes, and as you said, the General Lee never had a blower. Maybe they got it confused with the Fast & Furious Charger? :roll:

HPI's Monster-Truck bodies like the GTO, Charger, 'Cuda look like a$$. They look stupid on truggies, monster trucks, and look even stupider when you try to mount one on a proper touring car chassis. The wheel-wells are all farked up to make them look half-decent with fatmeat tires. :x

I'm a huge fan of blowers but NEVER liked them molded into a lexan body. They're always the wrong size and nowhere close to being scale. The one on that body is even in the wrong place! *Facepalm*

Wow!

Has anyone checked (Ebay, Amazon, etc.) on one of those Walmart 1/10th scale General Lees' (just for the body)?

$$$ :shock:

It looks like a lot of people have the same idea..

HPI is out of stock on '69 Chargers too..
