Re: Raider/Rocky/Turbo Rocky: will it blend?
Btw, I just wanna say if Bo hasn't stepped in and sold this chassis I was very close to building the Rocky as a vintage dirt oval Dominator killer with an offset G10 chassis. I have enough parts saved up I may be able to make that happen again. It may get weird!

Re: Raider/Rocky/Turbo Rocky: will it blend?
Update! I grabbed a TBG Turbo Rocky body but was less than pleased with the look. Going back and looking at pics of the stock Turbo, i think the body is just ugly and the built in wing is poo poo. I recently found a nos standard Rocky body for a good price on the bay and had to have it. I went super simple on the scheme, and smothered with decals.


Same car underneath. Need to install electronics next.

I like it a lot! My first real rc was a Rocky. I still have it and it's in the queue for restore.

Re: Raider/Rocky/Turbo Rocky: will it blend?
I think it turned out great. Sure stands out a lot better than a box-art.

Re: Raider/Rocky/Turbo Rocky: will it blend?
It looks like a competetive buggy with these shocks and that paint job -
Well done.
No black rims? Once You´ve had black, You´ll never go back... Errr, wrong forum

I have two of the stock black rims in case I ever find two more, but they aren't a look I am fond of anyway

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Gold shocks.
The standard Rocky body is much better looking than the Turbo version in my opinion.
