Last pic kinda shows that the paint is pewter.

I have been working on this body for a while and wanted to see what you guys thought. I wish the Pewter paint would show up better in the pics, but ah well. The paint is GM code matched from a body shop.

You can go to my main page in my sig and click on Mini Z to read alittle about the car.
Anyway, what do you think!!!

The Nitro car ran 30-40 mph stock. I have put in different gears, 2 speed trans, carbon fiber frame, belt tensioner, bigger filter, and different piston and sleeve. It will run over 70 mph and reach 60 in 3 secs. Speed proven next to a R1. Kept in front till topped out. Lots of fun. And this is the slower engine.



I would love to do the xenon ground effects but afraid I will rip them off since the cars so low. Maybe one day

Ok if you have the stock HPI engine then there is no way you are running over 70mph. Even with an .15 CVR-X you won't hit that speed. Believe me I work in a Hobby Shop and have worked there for 2 years. I drive and see them all the time. You might hit 50 mph with the 2-speed, but that's pushing it.

O.k. I did do HPI's engine rebuild kit they have, but you are probably right about the 70. That is what I heard that my mods should put me in on a nice road. The car did feel like it doubled speed with the setup I have now. Who knows. We were going to test the speed with the new parts with my friends bike but he sold it. So all I have is the old setup with the transmission. Not meaning to exagerate. He said that I was running in the high 50's with the 2 speed. I guess I was hoping for 20 more mph after rebuild. So lets just say it runs 50. Thats still fast

HPI makes an RTR kit that come with the SS body. Other than that you would have to just buy a kit and then buy the Camaro body separate and then paint it whatever you want.
