Nitr0Maj0r Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 I didnt think they could be that good considering the price, but i though as its their newest car they might have improved, are there parts on it i can replce for something better. Like air filter, exhaust, brake shoes n stuff like that. O yea does anyon have any links to UK shops where i can get a decent shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoss Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 HELLO and WELCOME,iam not to sure about your choice,dont know if anyone on here has,or is running them,but iam sure they will own up soon,i do seem to remember them doing a review,in one of the mag's just resently,and they thought it was GREAT,what size is it? 1/10 or 1/8,as you can get a few body's for both size,so you should be able to get the shell you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitr0Maj0r Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 Hey and thanks Hoss, its 1/10 scale, if you search cyclone on the search engine here, you see someone has a thread about a cyclone, i dunno if its the same or not though, looks like it. That site duff was awsome, didnt have the shell tho And prices o some were real high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
