The B6.x buggies don't all take the same body? I'm curious what the difference is with how they fit.

The edge profile on the B6.4 is a bit different compared to the previous ones.

B6.4 bodies will fit previous cars without too much issue it's when you try to put the previous generation bodies on the B6.4 where you have problems.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Not much issue, so it will deal.
Only negative is, I won't be running this shell in wet conditions

I got to see the chain drive Frog in action for the first time today. I dig it. Quieter than anyone would think. I got a few more cars I'll post later.

Ooooo.... the chained Frog run video is good, but so is the home printed Zerda's run video. If only the Froggy and the Zerda could meet. Very unlikely to ever happen, but would be an awesome showdown!

This month I won't be congratulating the winner, but condoling the 2nd. How hard it must be to lose with such a lead over the rest of the field. Two individual ideas have been realized here in a particularly impressive way. Thank you both for sharing these builds.

It really was a heart ripping vote , as usual there's two or three that deserve to win :|
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Its so over. When we wake up tomorrow thats it. Wish that final vote from the moderator didnt get cast. A tiebreaker shootout would have been pretty cool. Congrats silvertriple!
