As mentioned in my Marui Samurai thread, the pictures from the previous post generated some discussion with optimaforever who highlighted the shortcomings of my silly approach to model the chassis.

It can easily handle that, in fact I use a faster 10.5T motor in my original vintage race Opt...

I just had breakfast with Boki yesterday and he is working on that!

I'm thinking about getting a newer AE buggy (like an RC10B74.1 or similar) but I just can't stand the 'cab-forward' look of modern buggies. I'm all for the old-school look and used to think the same about the modern bodyshells. However, after running the modern stuff for a while, I think the shells...

Hi Folks, I'm thinking about getting a newer AE buggy (like an RC10B74.1 or similar) but I just can't stand the 'cab-forward' look of modern buggies. I've not had any luck on the internet looking at the usual suspects for aftermarket bodies with more of a traditional rear-cab look, especially ones ...

Quick work for this afternoon, because some friends are coming home for the week-end...

Seems like there are some kits shipping to customers in maybe Taiwan or something. I’m hoping that the US will get its shipment sometime in the next month or two, but I guess that would depend on the shipping method and port of entry.
