The T2 and T3 bodies are still available from Associated for $18.00. But cardboard is cheaper and allows you to really explore your imagination and get in touch with your creative side.:lol: :shock:

longboard, I honestly believe you would wheelie all day with paddles. I bumped up to 84/23 with the 5700kv and the truck wants to back flip regardless of the surface. I go easy on the throttle until I get up to speed.

body snatcher, I will probably end up laying a piece of lexan over tub to deflect some dirt and air. It is more predictable with no body at speed 8)

5700 is the fastest brushless motor id ever use. i think my buddy has a 6100 not sure but its alot faster then his 5700 and its almost a joke. you can be doing about 30mph and if you floor it, it will almost do a back flip. paddles are just more fun cause they throw up alot of sand.

x2. I think the 5700 is stupid fast, but the t3 turned out to be the most fun platform for stupid fast. I also run a 5700 in a pan car. You need a big parking lot with decent grip and a great aerodynamics. The t3 runs anywhere with or without a body :lol:

I have paddles for my buggy. The sand burnouts are awesome!

If youre not digging the handling of the truck body,toss a buggy body on it. That thing will not only fly across the sand,itll look good doing it. I always thought the trucks looked cool with buggy bodies on em.
