Just curious. HPI stopped making the 5T's, now I can't see any T1000s for sale. Not that I want one right away, but I'd love to have both a buggy and truck some day. For the right price, I'd snap up a truck right away.

I got my buggy from Dan as well. Those two you mentioned above only ship to the States. Ideally I'd love to get a roller chassis.

I have read some pretty bad reviews of the Rovans, which is why I went the KM route. I'll just keep my eyes open, no rush...
 
I will have T1000 in stock 2nd week of May. Sorry for the delay... they go quick.

I am also going to have a version of T1000 with more aluminum and the Bug Body, the T1000ss.

They will have many upgrades, 30.5cc engine, 2 speed, heavy duty aluminum upper plates, etc. It is worth the wait.

The link above is my ebay store, so check there middle of may and you should be able to get a great deal middle of May.

Yes I will have the Bug Bodies seperate (clear). No I don't like selling rollers, it's not worth it. It would be around 80 less. Even if you upgrade your own radio and engine, there are parts that you would need that are not on the roller and would cost you more to get seperate. Most people buy the base model and then sell the extra parts on ebay or to friends.

I have been selling KM and Rovan over three years now... and from experience I just doesn't make sense to sell rollers. Sorry.

cool Dan. i got a woodster body comin im doin a General Lee style paint and i found 1/5 scale Lee decals too. easy car body to do up, all orange and place decals.

was thinkin bout a Bug or another woody body, i want and have ideas for a Star Wars themed paint and pic job. would look cool on either body.

yah i got some stuff called pic glue for lexan, if i find some magazine or book pictures i like, and cut them out,i can use the glue to glue them to inside of body, once all the pics i choose are glued in place inside, then can paint it.

seena video explaining how to use the stuff, and it ends up looking pretty darn cool. i know one pic im tryin to find in the right scale, is the poster pic for ANH i think it is, where lukes standing above leia, holdin the lightsaber up , same pic they had on FANBOYS van.

thats definately one pic i will use. cant decide if it willbe on roof or front hood area.

then of course prolly some char. pics added a tie fighter, a x-wing maybe the D-Star.
 
I bet KM will come out with a 5SC then call it a super twin T9000 hippy truck SS 3.0 :lol:

Must resist...... taking the piss out of KM..... i will leave now :lol:
 
Hey, it was worth a shot, I'd just gut it anyway like I did the baja. I want a 5T to throw the ONB twin into possibly this winter if the gf will let me :devil2:
