I had a little bit of time to spend on this buggy. It had been living in a box as parts for about a year now. Built pretty much stock with the exception of the tecnacraft turnbuckles and andy's arms
Honestly I didn't set out to make this that nice. I even went with a set of used andy's arms instead of busting into some new packages for some stockers. As for the wheels, they probably won't get ran. they are a really sloppy fit in the front and the rear doesn't leave enough length on the axle to let the nut get into it's locking feature. I have a set of stock plastic wheels that will do the trick. The body however will fit the runner bill. It was on my new built 6010 but now I have a box art body for that and this body became an extra. I'm getting that radio gear together to install.
A mini update for this thread. Switched out the body for a custom painted one from Andy’s. Ditched the Lohan’s wheels in favor of a genuine set of Tecnacraft wheels. Also installed a Tecnacraft aero foil wing. I made real carbon fiber side plates and covered the wing in optical solar reflector tape.
I felt like there was too many Renegade bodies in my RC10 collection so when this Andy’s custom painted mirage popped up and jumped on it. I don’t know if this buggy will ever be a runner as I like it too much now.
Absolutely STUNNING!
I fully understand your choice to keep this car on the shelf. Some cars are just too purdy to risk getting scratched.
It's as purdy as a Christmas ornament.
Recently I bought a vintage custom painted and'y body from Tulsa. The dirt burners aluminum wing came from another list member here. Slap it all together and you get this

12 years later I finally do something with this chassis. I changed out one of the front shock bodies and a few incorrect screws. Installed a set of Tecnacraft wheels along with an Andy’s painted Protech and Thorp wing
With all the quarantine talk I elected to R/C and chill this weekend on a few projects. One of them was this buggy I bought and initially built a few years ago.
This buggy was worth all the ordeal it took to get. One day while surfing Craigslist I...

Andy still sells the painted Renegade though his eBay account.
I've finally been able to fulfill a dream to build the venerable MIP 4x buggy. In 2004 I built up a chassis using the MIP 4x400 cable drive 4wd conversion kit. A bunch of period SRB hop ups and a homemade chassis.
Not really satisfied, I...

Thanks for the comments. Tonight I was able to get the MRP Baja Bug body roughly trimmed and mounted.
On Friday a shapeways package came with my Toykid Beach Buggy kit. Overall the pieces are very nice. The body will need some smoothing before painting it. The rest of the parts look like they are ready for primer and paint. Gonna have to...

Well, the danger of having a loaded PayPal account results in buying things I don't need.
I haven't had a buggy project in quite awhile, it's all been trucks for the past few years. Until this recent purchase, I only had 1 buggy left in my entire...

Are you going for a strict factory equipment set or are you going to add some aftermarket parts?
