I'd say you did more than off-road it, you monster-trucked it!markbt73 wrote:I have one of the HPI Stratos bodies. I guess you could say I went "off-road" with it:

Could go best of both worlds, and do a Monte Carlo Rally version on the 12e... still a rally car, but predominately paved roads (and snow and ice!).

I like this idea! Use the RC12E, get HPI Cup Racer Decals and go with the Alitialia livery! Paint the wheels with Pactra yellow!

Re: Lancia Stratos- on road or off road?
I'm liking that decal sheet! It would save me a ton of time lol! Unfortunately bitd it would have been all paint and I really would like to keep the body "1977". I am loving the 12e fitment, and I can still have it look aggressive without it really being an off road setup.
I may have to just grab that cup racer body for another project. I didn't realize there was one

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Use paint for all the stripes but use the decals for all the sponsors!

Re: Lancia Stratos- on road or off road?
If it fits the way you want on the 12e then put it on there. There's tons of other Stratos cars you can model it after besides the Alitalia car.
The Alitalia car is the most recognized Stratos because it's the most often seen, and therefore it's also the most often replicated, but it's not necessarily the best looking Stratos ever raced.
