My Traxxas Ford Fiesta Rally came in today!!!!!!!

[BJoe]

The old Parma Neon is close, but the wheels are all too big and/or stick out too far.






I also tried the Tamiya Mini Cooper body



and HPI's Mini Cooper road racer body



Neither one of which really fit too well.

Here's a short video I shot at a church in LaFox during a indoor flying session, the planes being flown are mostly Ember's and Vapors .

I'm going to put the Neon on my M03 for speed runs, and I need to get another one of those HPI Mini Cooper bodies for the M03 as well, whole lot cheaper than the Tamiya one!

Same here, but I'm used to older style churches where the sanctuary is the focal point of the church

Wow so the XL-2.5 can handle 540 and 550 Motors I guess??? HMMMMM...thinking....

[BJoe]

Blew the Servo and ESC last night, Traxxas should have the ESC on it's way Monday morning, but I didn't catch the servo until after they closed for the weekend

[ozpall]

how? sux dude. hey can you please order me a wing.

[BJoe]

Looks like this will be the new power system for the car once I can get a new servo in it

Will do Oscar, I'll get it written up tomorrow when I get to the store!

[BJoe]

Well, I was finally able to drive it today, it needs stickier tires and maybe a couple good lipo's!

[xtreme4x2]

Looks like fun! I might have to pick one up

[ozpall]

you gotta make a vid man!

[BJoe]

Found some tires from my 4-Tecs that I can use today while at the storage area getting my Pede and Micro DT (it's getting a 2.4Rx!)

[BJoe]

Here's the ones I've test fitted so far, all from my collection of tires for my 4-Tecs



I'm going with these for now;


Here's the link to the page that has all of them installed on the car on it.

nice check out mines

[BJoe]

Nice, which tires are on those rims?

[ozpall]

the slicks that you have on one of those pics.

I love those wheels! I have that same design of wheel on my real car. I think the black ones look better, they compliment the black spoiler nicely in the rear end shot in your gallery. They don't sell clear bodies of the fiesta yet, do they? I have the KL one, although I love the look of the body/paint with the green wheels, I miss my own flavor with my cars. I don't want to deface the stock one.

Thanks, it's funny that you mentioned the black HPI rims, I used to run those on my Scaler XJ because they were "sorta like" the factory wheels on my 1/1 XJ Limited and not much different from the ones on my Sister's old XJ Briarwood I do need to find my strapping or Duct tape so I can belt those tires before I glue them up though

WOW!!! How does it handle Joe with this 1/10 system?

[NoobCrawler]

If you're going to go with the black wheels, something that would look pretty good on that body cause of it's shape would be a single black racing stripe on either the drivers or passenger side of the car. Or do the faux CF hood/trunk.
