Snow 10
Here is another buggy I put together over the weekend. I don't really have a runner so the chassis was built up to be used and will have electronics in it soon. I also wanted a base to see how this ski kit looked. We are supposed to get a bunch of snow the next few days so I might have to try it out. The kit comes with an adapter to mount a second set of wheels but I only have one set of these paddles. Might try to find an adapter to mount the predator tracks as well. The body will be a parma eagle which I thought would look cool with the skiis. The Andy's body was borrowed off another buggy for the pics. In the summer I'll mount some tires up. The front skiis are a decent design and they have a stop built in so the skiis won't flip over if you jump it.

Re: Snow 10
That looks cool. Looks like it may push a little! I would see if you could scrape up a pair of steering knuckles with the most amount of castor available to help it turn a bit.

Re: Snow 10
Do you remember how much they were and did they have more than 1 kit? I would love to get a set.klavy69 wrote:Ha, Was just lookin at a kit for those skis at the LHS still hangin there this morning .

Re: Snow 10
I remember seeing those skis all the time in the RCCA ads and thought they were neat but seeing the actual parts mounted on the car look significantly different than the pic on the label. They look pretty flimsy and I don't know if I'd run them.
Re: Snow 10
that is one of the coolest builds I have seen yet. Do you need an old ski kit or can you do this in current parts?

Re: Snow 10
This is a vintage kit. There might be something out there that you could make work but this kit is from the late 80's.

Re: Snow 10
Way back when one of the Reader's Rides from RCCA was a Fox that had a set of skis made out of Jetfire's red thrusters. To this day I can still remember it because that was my favorite Transformer.railey72 wrote:This is a vintage kit.
