midi-mania Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 i decided it wasnt pic worthy afterall lol, not with he speed of this computer anyway, im slowly sneaking it towards my bedroom to stick it on the shelf im not meant to have it in here because its petrol lol (he didnt seem to mind nitro though) i looked on ebay etc and dont seem to be able to find any leopards for sale to compare it to, so i just went for it lol, might not keep it yet though.

midi-mania Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 haha, thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Looks very neat and tidy Underneath it looks like it shares a lot with the Marder and other largescale FG buggies, so spares shouldn't be a problem. It is in very clean condition too inside and out. That's a good buy. Looks good in those colours too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi-mania Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) erm, sorry to tell you guys, but i just accidentally gave it some hard usage and rolled a few times (understatement) it now has chunks out of wing and shell (small) and a few out of chassis, there was a lump of iron hidden by the grass and i hit it at full whack and it went flying lol i never liked the look of fg either... but when you get a ncie bodyshell like this... lol they are MUCH nicer in the flesh! or should i say lexan btw URGENT... because i run out of gas what fuel/oil mix do i use? i.e. 20:1, 40:1 etc Edited October 13, 2009 by midi-mania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
