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. 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.

grats someday hopefully that is me waiting for the ups man haha

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.

what kind of a tote bag ? sounds nifty
