Drive through that glass and you may end up with a flat foam!
Possible reasons why Mr Hudy did not like his 710:
- The car is so weak. He would break a part every time he tried to knock a 1/5 scale car off the straight.
- The quality is so low, the chassis was tweaked out of the box. He didn't notice this until after he hammered the brake pins in.
- The car caused his radio to glitch. Whenever the car was coming towards him, he steered to the left but the car would go to the right.
- This car is sooo slow! He wasn't even close to keeping up with his friends T-maxx's and Savage21's at the construction site.

It's hard to believe that someone can have such a bad view of the 710, with all of the positive comment, and not just here.
If he thinks that's it made of glass he'd better just stick with some monster truck racing, they should take the hits a little better for him. Or maybe just don't hit things as much.

This mother f*cking car destroyed my engine. I opened it up and found heaps of dirt inside the cylinder. Someone should really invent some sort of device to seperate dirt from air.

That's cool 'cos all racers (no matter what scale) love their pit-babes.Go to Gallery then you'll see all the albums. The bar labelled "Public" is at the lowest bar ... she's there.
Oh you can't wait to go that far? She's here.

As for the next paint job ... sounds good! At least then in 1:10 racing, the pit-babes go racing with the cars!
Oh, and don't forget to post pictures of the new body-shell there afterwards.
