Hello! Tonight's questions are about Eggliners.
Who has 'em? >>> lots of people, I have one
Do they run well? >>>> sure, they use the standard Aristo Craft 2 axle diesel motor block
Are the new ones that are for sale better, worse, same? >>>> same except the shell is a single casting, not 2 glued together, a minor thing
I thought it might be fun to buy one of the Easter Egg ones but would like to know if it will need any work out of the box to be a serious runner (more weight, or anything really). >>>> nothing you need to know, they are fine.
What are your experiences with them? >>> I have one, put a TCS 501 in it, rewired the lights for front and rear .
Are they just a whim of fluff that gets displayed more than run? >>> you asked this twice already.
