Is it going to crash into everything when you take it outside?

So, are they going to make a 1/32 scale version that Rob Dyrdek will drive? He did the mini rally car on Fantasy Factory with a shifter cart. It was pretty cool. Also, will they make a Pastrana version? Heard he was going to NASCAR next year. Watever.

Strange in this day age how a pretty mediocre driver gets a RC car copy, while exceptional drivers like Leob get nothing. Guess that's the magic of advertising |

He is also a master entrepreneur. Him, Dyrdek and Pastrana have their fingers in everything. | |

This vehicle is plenty fast on 2 cell lipo's. The only thing I have damaged is wearing down my body posts and I have blown a shock cap twice. This is a fast, fun durable vehicle. I will be adding some offroad tires and raising the body a little to mess with it on a off-road track. (body mounts are very adjuatable). | |

they are cool little cars..the scale is more like 1/10m which is the size of the hpi cup racers, abc genetics and tamiya m cars..all have 210mm wb..hpi cars can be lengthened a bit and the width is adjustable from 165-180mm, the traxxass car is 180mm width..so there may be some cool bodies that may fit the traxxas car..i think the hpi porche is a good candidate with the wide fenders http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/7211/ i have a mini inferno thats been..um modified a bit anyway it been clocked at over 50mph with the stock tires and its very stable..just hard to keep the front end down at any speed..not all mini,s are crap i like the kb version, mustang looks cool too..need a challenger body |

Now THAT's a shame. There are loads of decent riders and drivers out there that are entertaining to watch but might not be from our country of origin. I'm a massive Valentino Rossi fan but last year there were not even any Brits competing in the top class (fixed for next year ;)) No doubt at all that Block is an exceptional advertiser, anyone that disagrees just has to look at how many hits hos vids have. But as a driver in comparison to other top level drivers he's pretty crap. So as i say i think that it's a shame that a better advertiser gets a RC shell copied rather than a better driver | |
