mine to its all over the place also. I am looking in to that also let me know how it runs please.
Will do as soon as the weather gets nice, which should be pretty soon.

The first time I took it out I was really surprised at how fast the car is. I'm thinking the ball diff will make it easier to drive.

I ordered a set of these wheel halfs has anyone else bought them from this guy? you couldnt beat the price 35.00 shipped. they sure look good in his pictures. I want to get the bumpers but my bank has to cool off for a while. :lol: they are a little on the pricy side I may try and make them first.

Good stuff!

I ordered a set for my Ultima/'Scorcher imposter and had no problems from this vendor.

For the money, they're a great deal.

I'm getting ready to order another set for my: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12952

I love seeing stuff like this!

It motivates me to finish my projects.

I haven't finished my Sand Scorcher yet, but it will be getting "new shoes" as well.

I have that same Baja Bug Body I am working on to put on my Buggy Champ. I bought the hard plastic one. what a chore to cut out all of the windows!! it took me two days. this plastic is tough to work with.

I think I know the body you're talking about, isn't that the Kamtec ABS?

I've got their lexan version on my B2 Baja.

Mine is just a modified 24 year old Monster Beetle with a Proline front clip.

Your right mine is a Kamtec ABS its a lot tuffer than the Tamiya shell. I think you could toss it into the wall and do more damage to the wall.

These are cool cars. I got a Buggy Champ last year and have it polished and am working on the modified rear suspension set up. I am too cheap so I just ordered the Schorcher body kit with the front body mount post and exchange it with Buggy. One chassis, two cars. :)

I just opened it up and got a free bag. their was a tote bag in it. I have seen them on Ebay but did not know they were in all of them. Tower didnt say anything about their being a bag in the kit just a bonus.
