I want one!

[RefugeeLcci]

This looks like a lot of fun. I think I have a new hobby interest =)

[maghead79]

very cool! now all you need is a remote control jet ranger helicopter to chase it!

[obxkid12]

Thanks also was this the monster truck body?

[jwramc]

@obxkid12 Yes, they did a 70 Cuda in the same proportions. Do note that I cut and stretched the TL01 chassis to match the wheelbase of these bodies better...they are quite long.

How did you manage to get the charger body without the slot for the engine/blower

@obxkid12 The body comes with a 'plug' piece to fit the hole in the hood. It's located in one of the fender wells that you must cut out. :)

Allow me to take one step higher with this video: Go hire some r/c helicopter flyer and have you and him do a reenactment of the Charger/heli chase through a model grove (especially around that intersection where the rotor blades nearly hit the pavement)...

[Visnitchi]

Nice! I like the old effect :D

[rtdaytona]

thats an incredible car...looks and power...

[buggymike34]

Great job man!!!  Looks great! Where is that body from? Not a Tamiya body right? Is it from a lesser quality RC?

Awesome job man

-34

[jwramc]

@buggymike34 It's from HPI, #7184

Nice im lookng for a 69 Charger body for my Tamiya TT-01 but cant find one :(

[jwramc]

@LegoTech53 Do a search for "HPI Charger Body". It's about $25.

[ronofontario]

Just don't crash your rc into a train like in the movie

[Starsky5000]

Nice. Charger looks awesome!

[GordonGriggs]

Charger looks great.You should make more of them and sell them on ebay.

[600SELV12]

all you need now is a big-ass O scale train set and.........

[hamtrak]

Did I see teeny weeny figures of Larry,Deke and Mary in there?

[jwramc]

No, but the idea did cross my mind... :)

[madmax678]

love the body! what turn motor have you got on it? i got a 21-turn in mine (TL-01) mustang body shell!

[somedudeandacomp]

Wow man nice vid, love the scene in the end looks quite realistic how the front jumps up.

Excellent job on the body, I have a similair tl01b but don't have a body for it.

Looks pretty torquey and a bit squirrely cause you can't seem to drive it in a straight line :P

All in all GREat job!

[jwramc]

I haven't really determined that, and the speed mods have been confined to just a 'sport tuned' black can. My intent was really to just make a fun, 1970s-musclecar, with performance to match, so its RWD, long and high, so its a bit sloppy with lots of wheelspin, sway, etc. I do figure its top speed is a bit higher than a stock AWD TL01, but can't say its by very much.

Nice dude=D how fast does it go?
