Hi Badboy

The first person who got their BC on TC had it layed out on the main page and from what I saw it came with both the tube antenna and the whip aerial (Metal) thats what was in his picture see below .

Personally I hope it comes with the metal whip aerial myself but it would be good to have the option of both .

BTW: That other screw in the bag (above the tube antenna holder) looks like a Metal whip aerial screw its the right shape and size and being only one screw in that bag I think its a pretty safe bet that is what it is .

Hi Swarm, Badboy,

It comes with both antennae.

Same here Ive not long bought a house etc so am poor as it is and my gf just had to take a paycut as she was made redundant!

For some reason they buggy champ said buy me buy me lol

when i have enough cars to play with and just bought 1/4 arx rc bike to! im very poor lol

I plan to get the ss body and what ever else tyres etc hope its straight forward swap!

HELP why does sig not show all time??

All you will need is the SS body kit and a front body post. Tyres for the SS are readily available from most hobby stores, since the Frog uses the same tyres.

I personally don't like the SS front tyres, and the BC rear tyres. lol.

So when my BC arrives, it will have the Paddle Trac in back and the BC tyres in front. I will take one front body post with a 1.5 mm allen and swap between two batteries between packs.. and have a smile on my face.. being able to own the car I could not when I was little.

Pages 11 - 20

Happy reading

Must say I'm surprised that they have not the replaced double sided tape with a couple of screws to locate the steering servo to the radio box.

But then it wouldn't be the same, right?

It would be the same as one piece rims...

I think the super gripper is better on all surface, when the paddle track spins to fast

it becomes like a solid none gripping lump of rubber...

The super gripper get a real grip on enything!!!

[Japanscaledriver 14]

Got two yesterday, I live in Japan, so they are the JDM version... haha

Here is a pic of the box and the T-shirt...

Notice the sticker on the box is different...

The **** blister packaging around the motor on both my kits is really bad....

T-Shirt, one size by the looks of it... XL
