The mold line is definately a turnoff for sure.

But, my dumbass is still getting one. Hopefully Soon.

I'm new to crawlers - if I get one of these, am I going to be able to enjoy it without any modifications? Tires, suspension, motor, wheels - anything besides adding weight to the front?

Oh, and although I enjoy great looking crawlers, mine will be used for crawling. I think a scratched up, dinged body looks really cool.

Thanks

The LC body had the same mold lines. Its no biggie, it pretty much disappears after the body is painted.

That said, I can't wait to get this shit

Default Here are some pics

Got some pics of the Tamiya and HPI Bronco's side by side and such.


HPI is not even as close as to being detailed as the Tamiya. And the HPI is much bigger.

I took these quick, Sorry they ain't the greatest, but, I think you get the idea.





This one I took quick the HPI body was falling. It's a little off. The HPI still has an inch on the Tamiya.



Took one on top of my current soon to be on the wall of famed Broncos. hehe Here, you can see the size difference as well.



And the last one on top of an SCX10.

I will get some better ones when I get this Bronco set up and painted. Can't wait.
