That's easy.... Here goes

Hi Mrs / Ms / Miss Grimbo, (thought I better cover my bases)

Grimbo needs one of these Because.

1. They are one tenth the scale of his big car but less than one tenth the cost.
2. if he rolls the big car, somebody usually gets hurt or at least upset.
3. again if he rolls the little one he just picks it up and off it goes again... most of the time.
4. parts are alot less to buy than parts for the big one.
5. and so on and so forth...

oh forgot to mention....They are FUN......

There you go mate give here a look at that.
Explains everything..

About three or four on ebay.com.au at the moment that are going for around the $360 to $400 range.

Might sell my three crappy nitro Raptors and grab one of these.
Anyone interested in a complete working cheap nitro Raptor?

i got a RTR scorpion the other day and they have the same springs as the kit and when i first started using it i thought the springs were a bit hard but then i put some weights in the tyres and that made up for it a lot so its more than capable with the standard springs but a set of threaded shocks like the ones that venom make (i'm sure you should be able to get them through your work) come with a couple different springs so you can adjust to how ever hard or soft you want
