Really??? My hpi 70 boss is holding up quite well. Only thing I dont like is QC on the mold. Its my 3rd one, and all 3 have had some sort ot noticable problem with the body lines. Almost like they got stamped twice, and the second time it was just a little off center.

I didnt win the Southern Nats with the XXX-S I won the actual USVTA Nationals with it....I ended up 4th after all the crazyness settled at the Southern Nats.
I think you are right there was only 3 J71's in the Amain at the Southern Nats.
Rob King...Winner of the Southern Nats used a J71
Mike Jones and myself both raced the Javelin in the A-main
I have tried just about every body out there there isnt any advantage over the next. Yes each does feel different but it doesnt equate to any faster lap times. Its mainly the looks and how well it holds up. I personally like the Pegasus Mustang and the Javelin. Both hold up well and last for a while. The HPI bodies are nice but they all get damaged rather quickly IMO.

I think he told me it was a Pegasus. He said it was rare so i was extremely careful when I painted it.

Kevin, I definitely remember your car now and we talked while waiting in line once and you even let me check out that Losi too. Sorry for the mistake. The gold car I was speaking of can be seen here in the rolling start video....and I believe it was a J-71

Racer sent me a photo of his PROTOForm TA mounted up. Whatever body you are running, the vintage five spoke Cragar SS wannabes make it look better & VTA!
