got this from Redscampi a while back. pretty cool buggy. made in 1985, 24 years old!!
any way it had the rear "blocks" broke that hold the axle in place (the part where it pivots)
he glued it,then i got it, slightest movents would fracture the glue "weld" , put the tires on and it just collapsed under its own weight. so i tore it down, was gonna modify it, install real electrics. never got around to it,so i kept it out of the packed up cars, and decided to get it going. it now has a rear axle from a tamiya hornet, them blocks are from a hornet, has a futaba servo,novack ESC, black can motor or open can or something. works great , just need to figure out how to fix the servo, its reversed, my radio dont have the reverse switch!!
has tamiya hornet rims and tires. this conversion did not require any cutting ,drilling. it was a "screw together" conversion. could be turned back to stock, youd never know it was modified. its a True "sleeper"











partial build vid , ill have a "how to " vid on to do this "conversion " if you got one of these laying around

See if you can unscrew the steering gimble stick and spin in round.This is how I used to reverse the old Acoms radio back in the day.

Good to see that beast being used Matt! Good work.

Works for older futaba attack radios as well
