How Important are the Looks of an RC?

[Piecejointe]

Another example would be the Tekno MT410. I've read nothing but great things about them but I find them beyond ugly. I can't stand the thin (width) chassis and the bodies are 10 pounds of ugly stuffed into a 5 pound bag ?. I don't think I could ever get past that.

You can use many bodies on the MT410, it can look anything from ugly to great.

I picture clear windows and Ken Block behind the wheel. #Hoonigan

Check out the tire name “Hoons”, I think it’s probably a hat tip to Ken.

You saw it too eh @Mongoose!

8/10 looks are important. I like older scale bodies though most and wish we had more options for muscle cars. Pretty satisfied with the older model truck bodies available.
I never really got into Monster Jam stuff when I was growing up as much as hot rod drag races, pro street, narrowed rear end etc. I like to see the tires tucked under the wheel wells but this won't work for jumping.
If I ever fix my sct or get a better one, I'd like to play with this PL body

edit: This is similar to what we grew up watching. I love the Chevy 2 body and have seen several at the dragstrip blow the windows out when they torque. New guys thought they could get away without cutting the uni-body.
I also have piles of old Hot Rod magazines in the attic somewhere.

As I understand it, Hoons is Ausi-slang for troublemakers (short for hooligans), that got applied to 1:1 drifters when that fad got started.

Applies here, though. ?

I have to like the looks to buy it..

So, since today.. I need to put some money aside! Cause i love the looks of the new Infraction!!! But.. Time enough to do so.. Cause it prob will take a couple of months to hit European market..

 

[TpPartsRcXtreme]

For me it needs to be both, look good and drive good, simple as that. Like food you eat with the eyes to. Now, i do enjoy the current bodies out for the arrma cars that i only run.

Notorious, cus it reminds me of ma 50 panel on ma Siren wich i like a lot. Talion v3 and 4 body and Outcast and the mighty BigRoCk..hekk all looks good, but those are ma favo.

On the Onroad, the Infraction period!..

With that said, i like the whole range from ARRMA.

With more pics and vids of the Infraction hitting the web I must say it looks amazing. Seen 62+ mph out the box with some left. Trying to figure a reason to not raid the cookie jar.

62mph? I’ve seen more than that. Pretty sure it’s 80mph OOB

Yeah, just seen a vid of 62, like I said had more left in it, limited space.

I wonder if someone is gonna customize the boring body of the awesome brcc. There is 1 rootbeer red here what looks very nice. Also on the web is no customized brcc to be found. Hope someone is goimg to. I will add some leds and the T bone frontbumper thuis week.

 

[slick2500]

The big issue with the BRCC is that it is a monster truck that is the same length as a short course truck and no one makes a body that fits without trimming.

 

[nino]

Killerbody make one (Rubik IIRC), and it's really ugly. The ECX Ruckus is a long wheelbase 1/10 MT. It, too, is ugly. ECX Axe is a weird one.
So, nobody makes a good looking body that fits the BRCC

 

[uncels]

So only a Nice paintjob can make the car look nicer.

All that matters is the looks. If she's a beaut but runs like sheet you can always put her on a shelf and look at it.

You made me think of @Rolex who's usually on RCTalk.com. He loves his shiny!

Well there seems to be a body for the BRCC Isuzu Body
Think is this cheap on Ebay
