robitronic br-50 trophy truck

hey,

i was starting to think about my next conversion. and i wanted to do a trophy truck. but i dont like the slayer cause i already have a revo and dont want another one. (if i do get another its going to be g3r) i was thinking about using the robitronic br-50. but i cant find anything for it. like parts, bodys. i know it takes 1/8th buggy wheels and tires witch is cool cause i could get those at work. but does any one know of any sits that sell bodys and parts for this truck.

thanks!

before I clicked on the link I thought "Trophy Truck" was another name for a shelf queen...sorry for any confusion........

Its a 1/8 buggy with a truck body. Its body or the slayer/slash bodies would also fit other 1/8 buggies.

The trophy truck is based on the Robitronic Mantis truggy chassis (Wheelbase: 362-368mm / 14.25-14.49in) and uses arms and tires of the Robitronic buggy. It uses longer wheel hubs compared to the buggy to widen its track width. The body won't fit a 1:8 buggy. Its offroad capabilities can be compared to a 1:8 buggy due to the "small" buggy tires. If you intend to run it on a track it should feel fine.

Tower stocks them and some parts. I would wait for the Slayer to come as after market support will be much better with the Slayer.

SEXY!

I like it over the slash/slayer for sure. I'm in agreement that the slayer is just too much like another revo. If I didn't have a revo already, I'd be interested. That robotronics looks great. I'm sure between the other robotronics cars you could find plenty of interchangeable parts.

yah i do like the robotronics over the slayer just cause its on a buggy chassis, it has a center diff, it has a nice axial .28 engine that i know a lot of people that want. so i could sell it for almost the price of a new one lol, it has the buggy tires on it so there would be a lot of options there.

does any one know if buggy tires would if on the slayer wheels?

I LIKE IT!

It is a much sexier looking vehicle especially with the red aluminum which you don't see to often

yah i do like the red aluminum. i think thats robitronics main color cause there scaple and there avid are red aluminum too.

there is a guy that some times comes into my work that has one. so im going to ask him if he can bring it in and i can check it out. or tomorrow i might just go up to ultimate hobbies and check out theres cause i think they have one. might just take the slash body and try it out lol.

I saw one these at a hobby convention last week,I thought it was cool.
sk motion is the distributor for robitronic(at least that's what they told me).
I like the extra wheel and tire mounted to the back of the body also,nice touch on the realism,nobody else that i have seen has done that.

I think it's going to be so sweet! Make sure to post pics.

oh dont worry i well have tons of pics if i do it. i should be getting it next month. i have to pay for school this month so next month i well have money again. its eve cheaper then the slayer. its only 404$ at ultimate hobbies.

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

That is a sweet price

im also thinking about just getting the buggy by robitronics and putting the slayer body on it. since its only 260$
