Isn't the plastic on model kits like these a little brittle? I guess it's not as much of a problem for micro crawlers since they are pretty light. But, is durability much of an issue? Nice job on winning the auction!

The Ranger would make a cool build too. I don't think there has been one with that body yet.

as you can see they still look great. these bodys hold up real well. I think i may fab up some brass frames and sell them with the bodies. god only knows that i dont need a dozen of these bodies but for less than $50 i couldnt resist. | |

Yeah thats a steal.. keep them tucked away ujntil you're building bro.. You just have to know how to stash stuff.. Pocket Rockets the models are made of styrene and thats pretty durable stuff.. check out all the stuff scalers are crawlers are using it for.. |

I feel ya, I got stuff everywhere! And I've still got one more heli (til later today it'll be two) on the way, a plane that just arrived to go along with everything else. Time to start building shelves and hanging planes and choppers from the ceiling.
