Default "Texan's 09 F-Bomb Camaro"

Not sure where to go with this one. Honestly, EVOs so far have depressed me. Got my 1st one, and the rear case was split. So I was playing with my bro's for awhile. They certainly dont seem as zippy as the GEN1 was stock.. Steering is nice and tight, but no fun if I cant get a slide or two out of it. So, finally, got a good chassis, and started messing with the car a bit. Had to take out the motor-gear though, to make a gear for the Titan's servo motor, so it's down til this weekend when I can grab a motor kit for the spare gears. Mostly will be RS parts, and a custom 47T motor for now.

When weather permits, I'll take this to the land of black... flat black. Not too impress with the quality of the body, but **** it is purty though.



Slammed wheels, with the car tires, fits PERFECT, and looks gangsta... or ballin'.. or what ever the hip-word of the week is.

Just had to cut the bumper some:


Snap shot from the Houston Autoshow last weekend, my god the Camaro looks great in person. The pre-production seen running around looks identicle, thankfully.

I think it needs larger wheels in the back, for that good ol' stagered look...

What do you think of it? I thought about picking one up if I can find one..

Nice Tex, I once had slammed wheels on my Bumblebee. I thought you had the EVO Truck? So this is your first EVO car? What took you so long to get one?

He knows they're craptacular compared to the Gen1s.

Nice score, Texan. Might I suggest some AAA rechargables before you paint?

Well, I am happy with my Evos (Except my bumblebee. I'm sure some of you remember it ) Also because I never owned a Gen.1. I plan on getting one soon, that or more Micro T parts.

I like the slammed rims on bumblebee they look cool. THe thing i don't like about the transformer evos' is that they come broken and the body's are in bad shape.
If you look at my transformers, the bodys are in bad condition. THey came like that and i barely use them. But your bumblebee doesn't have any scratches of what i can tell.

If I can clear the rear tires from the slammed wheel and tire kit, their thicker then the stock evo tires. Performance, so so, maybe it's the regular AAAs I have for now (til I can find my old rechargables, lol)... But they dont seem to be as torquey as the Gen1. I could pull some good drifts with worn hard slicks on a stock gen1 with AWD, dont see that happening with an evo car.

I had an evo truck, and only spent 2 days being stock. I have never been too interested in the EVO cars. Cheap quality, closed design. not too mod friendly.

The stripes are poorly done at the ends. But the paint is good, just some casting lines along the roof.
