Hey Blazers love the look of the HCR gear with the VBS. I think you should use the HCR chassis setup with the VBS and racer-X suspenssion. Its nice to see someone having fun with this area of Maxx parts. It always amazes me how these Maxx based turcks have remained popular for some of us after so many years. Considering that there have been so many other models and updated versions of various vehicles that we still play with these same platforms. I have about eight of them and plan to play with them for many years to come until I am satisfied with the setups that I am working on. I only have one VBS and cannot make up my mind which platform it looks best on.
Nick, the Typhoon looks great. I always like those wheels on them and the ZR1 corvette wheels. Yours is also in my favorite color for the TY, my second is the green with silver cladding.
I run the FLM truck a lot when Im in the mood for running. Sometimes I go months and never play with any thing, other times I run everyday of the week. It has been used a lot though and has been played with hard and put up wet and still performs amazingly. It has handled everything I have thrown at it and begged for more. It is my basher/runner. Im very rough on it but I can say nothing but good things about all the parts I used on it. It has truly been a bulletproof truck for me on 5s. Im going to 6s soon I believe, so we will see what happens then.
Jerry, Im in the same situation as you. I can't decide what to put these VBS on. I will figure it out though.
