Curious, whats your opinion on the Furai?

You mean whether or not it belongs in USGT?

Absolutely not.

But apparently, an opinion not shared by those that make those decisions.

So I'll probably get one and run it.

LOL, good one!

here my hotbodies cyclone tc with exotek chassis 21.5 thunder power motor

Make sure your using the US warehouse if your not already http://shop.speedpowerrc.com/offical...ed-body-shell/

You should have no problem ordering from either warehouse, if it is on their shelf.

The body is definitely a nice one, there are a few thin spots and I had trouble getting it on a TC6, I had to slot the body for the higher shock towers. I think it was really intended for a Tamiya IFS chassis with it's extremely low front hood, but, I have seen it on a T4 as well with lowered towers.

Saw some pics recently on the internet where the 1:1 scale Furai had burned to the ground.

Wow, back in '08! So since it doesn't exist anymore, let's ban it from USGT! *Ducks and runs for cover*

It's better than Spec 350Z! One halfway fast guy runs that and the next thing you know everyone shows up with a Datsun body.

Must have been the lipo battery not being balanced charged.

Charging lipos in NiMh mode!

*goes and googles for a 1/10 scale 510 body*

If I ran any Datsun it would be a 510 :P

A few more pics of the body painted. It almost looks biological or cyborg? I tried to make it look like tissue/muscle underneath. Seemed to fit.

It's pretty wild for sure. The rear is as different as the front.

Very nice. I ordered a couple bodies to see what they are like. I am thinking some flat black will look good.
