Oh, thats good to hear anyway. I've got one and at the rate I'm going its going to need replacing B4 too long...

Honestly speaking... you don't need any branding to sell an RC car body.

Protoform can always just make a new body shaped like the stratus without the details associated with the real car and just call it Touring Body Model No. 1 etc...

I doubt DC would be dumb enough to say it has a copyright on the shape of the body!

BAH

Yeh especially when the stratus shell never looked like the real thing anyway

yea it performs well too, itd be differant if it was a dog of a shell and they didnt want thier name associated with an inferior product

hpi's new stratus aero 2 has the same lines and is a vast inprovement over the old ugly strat they had, it may be one of our only choices now

Well, better brake out my RTR TC3 stratus body

I am actually going to be running a very different body than the norm this wednesday, running the HPI Subaru imprezza. Something different than the norm for a change.

i always thought it would be cool to sink an impreza body (190mm) and run it onroad style. especially if it were painted like the white/red/silver cusco subaru touring car.

i would bet that it would look too tall. someone had an hpi astra out this weekend, and it looked, well, ...not good.

props to creativity, though.
