jconcepts detonator for rc10

[vwjuice]

I can't wait too get the wheels and tires for my Raider. It will look so much better with the proper sized ones and still have the traction needed. I really hope they release some more tires. I need the Jconcepts Barcodes in Gold compound for our track. I may have too try cutting some down too the proper size.

A Dirt Hawg-like all-terrain tire would be really nice. Tamiya has a couple options, but a better compound would be a good thing.

On another note, the body growing on you guys yet???? After sitting in my living room for a week I'm actually starting to like it a lot.

Yup it grew on me, played around in photoshop with some paint designs and masking. When will the body be out?

It's available now on the Jconcepts website.

Ordered one yesterday from my local shop.

Alright, it might be growing on me (like a fungus) a teeny weeny little bit.

I got a peek at it a couple of weeks before it was released, I couldn't stand it- I did think it might look good as a convertible with the roof cut off. However, with a retro-esque paint job...it looks pretty "correct". As much as I love the RCPS shells, they would look "odd" with the small diameter wheels and tires and short arms. I like it now-

My body just came today. It's effin cool imho. Even better in person I think. I like the roofline. Only 2" wide at the cab, it maintains the narrow profile all the way through the tail. Tight!

How about some pics of the Detonator next to a Mirage SS and a Protech.....

The new RC10 Classic "race version".......

And my new worlds runner, complete with Brimod's. I will finish the radio install this week.

Nice! Is that a matte black annodizing or powdercoat? I like it.

Tha A pillars on those two older (Protech and Mirage) bodies look way too layed back and odd to me though, like they've been stepped on. I'll get used to it.

I like the looks of the Jc body more and when it's next too the other bodies. Looks like a more traditional 1:1 buggy from the same era.

[JHarris]

Both my cars have hard black ano. It looks matte in the pictures.

I'm a huge fan of the Mirage SS but when you see it next to the Detonator it doesn't look as good. The pictures don't do it justice.

Still can't decide whether I like this body or not. I don't harbor as much vehemence towards it as some seem to, but... that steep windshield... another five degrees laid back would take it from "bottle-nosed dolphin" to "fighter jet", I think. I like the length of the cockpit area, but it's just a little too Nissan Cube-like.

If you guys are planning any more designs, may I suggest a two-seater, with a wider cockpit? Maybe kinda Chenowth-ish? That would really stand out in a sea of Protechs and Vipers.
