I like this build. For being "left overs" it looks better than some runners. Another fine build.

Thanks
Once I get it complete I think I will also include this second body which fits better. It's not as fresh and unique but it will stay on

The gold stands out nicely against the all black car. I think it looks good.

I agree, that was a temporary body until I got the one for this buggy painted...took forever to decide on a paint scheme for this one. I'm finally going to be running it on the track soon too. I'm stoked!

That one looks really good. I like the body a lot on that one.

thanks, I just took this out for it's first test run after having it sit all winter. Once I retightened the spur gear screws and the pinion's set screw, it works really good too. I would have put some loctite on it but don't have any with me.
I broke down and ordered some Klein arms for the left over buggy

I had money burning away in my paypal account....I have no control
I also got some shock bushing from the LHS. Now if I could find a old motor guard I will be all set.
This one is about 55-60% left over and the rest is new, but I think it will make someone on here happy when it sells. I will be happy too, because then I will have some extra coin for the electronics I want for my current 10T project

don't cut your new body for this project yet. I have sent my '91 tower to Jay Dub and he will see if he can make some.

I'm not cutting a new body for it, but including the two bodies (black and blue, and the black and gold) when I sell it. What's this about towers, 59burst, is that post for this thread or meant for another one. I'm confused, then again sometimes it doesn't take much.

doesn't take much some days
I've seen that tower, and I think it's one of the best looking custom towers on here
I have to keep in mind that I want to use up as many parts that I have already and buy as little as I can to finish it off. If I were to break my front tower on my old/new pan buggy, then I could
have to get one of those towers.

having just taken the graphite car out I think I will swap rear wheels with this build. The Losi step pin will be more practical for me than the Double Dees for the surfaces I will be on. The DD tires would only be used a couple of times though, so they will be like new.

got my dynotech arms today
I put them on right away to see how they look. I also painted up one of my old motor mounts to match the chassis a bit better since it was previously blue. I noticed after snapping the photos that I need to put the e-clips on, but no biggies...here is how she looks. I got to go out of town for a few weeks, I will put it in the buy/sell/trade when I get back
Here are some extras I am going to throw in
