Gold Pan Mutt WOIN build
Gold Pan Mutt WOIN build
Like the subject says, Gold Pan #3 finally made it in yesterday and other than bein dirty, its in really good shape and mostly complete!
Didnt notice the different shades of gold on the pan and nose/motor plate until AFTER I took the initial pictures to post on here
Not sure the story on this guy, but I figured Ide toss it on here and see what yall think. Is that an early tub with later gold nose plate and motor plate? Was waiting to get this guy in so I could decide which of my Gold Pans will be a WOIN build and which will be built into a Sand Buggy.
UPDATE: Now that all the GoldPans are in, Ive decided to keep this buggy alive like the previous owners and update it a bit along the way WOIN style. Keep an eye on updates, will be ordering parts shortly!!!

Re: Last Gold Pan finally in, and its a Mutt
The best RC stories are told by a set of completely bald knobby tires. Someone had some fun with that one.

Re: Last Gold Pan finally in, and its a Mutt
Now THAT'S the car you need to trick out with aftermarket goodies. It looks to be in pretty good shape, but I'm sure some of the parts are a bit sloppy judging by the tire wear. Just be warned...Once you start, it's a hard habit to break!
Have fun,

Re: Last Gold Pan finally in, and its a Mutt
How is it possible to have the tires be worn down so much and barely have any scratches on the belly of the tub at the same time? Regardless, nice buggy!

You know what, I REALLY like the way that buggy looks as is. Total rat rod.
Re: Last Gold Pan finally in, and its a Mutt
After tearing this thign down, you can tell it was a runner for sure and prolly been rebuilt and re-rebuilt several times over. It has ball bearings all around, and the tranny was in really good shape inside and out. The nose is all knicked up but the pan is in great shape minus some minor scuffing towards the rear. Again, I woulda loved to have known the story behind this sucker with all the mixed up parts. Im thinkin this will be the WOIN build and Ill keep the thing runnin and bashing like the original owner(s) obviously did along the way.

Re: Gold Pan Mutt WOIN build
Well, the Mutt became even more...mixed LOL. I picked up some long front arms along with what I was hoping was a light gold nose to match the pan. When it showed up...it was light gold alright Now it appears that I have 3 different shades of gold goin on with this sucker.
Trans and motor plate from the Bronco Buggy to show the color difference. I plan on hunting down a Stealth for this thing.
Arms look good on this thing.
Look forward to hunting down the remaining parts needed to essentially take this thing from a rough spare parts buggy and make it a slightly less rough, spare parts CE style RC10.

Re: Gold Pan Mutt WOIN build
Got a set of 20deg knuckles and inline axles in and installed. Gonna pull apart some wheels I got as well and dye some parts black and try to finish up the rear shortly. Slow progress but progress non-the-less!
