Think you need a Saint Dragon. It’ll grow on ya and if it doesn’t it will help ya appreciate its siblings more.

Thunder Cats Gavin. Funniest cover shot ever! Going to Green Bay for work tonight will watch this later. This is a Tshirt, actually this is a RCKicks ICON. Howled when I saw it. Will watch later not missing this jewel. You realize your never living that picture 😂 down right? 😙😝🤣

@@RCKickschannel I sat down later and was able to watch the whole vid. Really good production values, entertaining and informative. But I gotta tell you, a national speed limit of 55mph, disco, and yellow Tamiya sticky shocks, bad enough mounted on each corner, but mounted SIDEWAYS on these buggies were likely the cause of me embracing PUNK and jumping in the mosh pit......

so the difference between this and the terra scorcher is the terra comes with bearings for $40 more? i'm trying to decide on a fast bang for the buck awd car or truck without dipping into the egress, terra conqueror, vanquish, etc. territory. am i missing any?

@tomstone2080 8 ай бұрын

What was the issue with the fire dragon ? And can you put a Terra Scorcher body on a reissued fire dragon ?

@johnnycoolness 2 жыл бұрын

I bought the Saint Dragon for the CVA's and I'm hoping Thunder Shot body is released so I can make a Black Thunder Shot.

@fatfreddiescat9952 2 жыл бұрын

What was wrong with the fire dragon, Huh? Years ago I used to race in a TL01 buggy class. I used thunder shot lower arms to get more shock tuning options and save a little weight. While it worked well I eventually had to change back as it was classed as a unfair advantage.

@neontetra1000 2 жыл бұрын

After watching the unboxing ( dog bones and no bearings) it occurs to me I would be much better off with a terra scorcher and a thundershot bodyset ( uj’s) and full bearings .

@RCKickschannel 2 жыл бұрын

100%! Best to get the TS version and then change the body to the one you want. Depending on the body you will have to also change the uprights to match.
