Here is a link to Elcon hop ups for FG mostly off road from just glancing at the first couple pages.

It's funny, of all the people in my area, all own HPI 1/5. I am the only FG Baja owner. So if Memphis is the example the aftermarket used to determine who to make parts for, HPI wins simply because of the ratio of owners.

Since this is the onroad section, I'll take a chance and assume you are thinking about buying an onroad FG????
If that's the case, the cars are sold new from mild (sportline) to wild (Evo8). The Evo 8 is one big fat $3500 hop-up. It's 98% Aluminum and Carbon Fiber. Most of the hop-ups I know of for an Evo 8 are for performance rather than appearance.
For example:
- www.oddified.com - Diff, clutch, air filters, etc
- Tom Bowlin modified motors (google it)
- www.jaracing.com - Alloy wheels

I you find someone who sells what the kids call "bling" for FG onroads, let me know. I would like to see and possibly buy some for one of my cars.

Where can we get Nutech on-road parts, either in Canada or the US? If the upgrade parts are cheaper than the FG, and fit, it's a no brainer...My FG Sportline will be getting dressed up!

One more thing. As for hop-ups on an FG, I think this is one of the most interesting FG cars I have seen. He did a great job of blending parts from another brand on to his FG.

Yes, I've seen them as I've bounced around reading the topics, and you keep them top notch. It was seeing pictures of cars like your FG/Swift, where the owners made and modified parts for their cars, that got me interested in 5th scale cars years ago.

The arms was the first thing I noticed. I've studied the pictures of the modified PB Dart by Jose Cunha for years on rctek and could tell right away the arms on your car must be KP Design. They really give the FG a new look.
And the red hinge pin carriers on the front look amazing. I could go on and on but I just thought I would use you car as the example of the many really cool "hop-up" cars I've seen.

I am working towards getting a small mill and lathe where I can then heavily modify or make a "one of a kind" car like you and Mr. Cunha managed to do.

Keep up the good work.
