i'm bored and want to put something together... but i dunno about this build. for some reason i just cant get myself too excited about it.

maybe it will be cool if i just start putting all the stuff on it, but it just doesnt thrill me too much. besides the chassis, its all just used stuff. i started out making a rat rod out of a used worlds car, but then i changed my mind and decided to put all the stuff on the sassy.

its gonna have a mip mono shock front (horrible setup, but it looks cool). if i had a rear mip swingarm kit i think i would be alot more stoked about getting it done. i may even put a mip 4x kit on it if i had a swingarm kit...

whaddya think? its not too late at all to throw everything on the worlds.

I dunno what it is but I like it, I'm sure it will look super cool when you have waved your magic wand over it :) . You could put it together and if it deosn't do it for you take it appart again I know what that feels like :lol:

Hoop, I have a brand new complete MIP rear arm kit that I started to put together on a rig but decided to go a different route. If you're interested, maybe we can work out some kind of trade? Eh hemmm, I'm still looking for some MIP 4wd parts :P

i try to be real strict about NOT taking apart a buggy after its started. ;)

i'll just keep on throwing parts on it and see how i feel about it. i really wanted to build up my raceco chassis but i still need to countersink the holes in the chassis, so maybe i'll make an exception to my rules and build this sassy with parts i intend to put on the raceco.

or, maybe i'm just not in the mood to build a buggy today. ;)

I like it except for the front monoshock. On my Tamiya Fox, those flip flopped more than john kerry.

same flop issues with this, i just put it on for the novelty of it since its a shelf queen. i have a set of sway bars i was considering using, but i dunno if i'll get the ambition to put those together tonight.
