With snow season coming up I thought I'd make a set of tracks for the buggy. The parts were left over from another track project. The plastic tracks are from a Kyosho Blizzard which have been narrowed and shortened. I picket up the skis on ebay a few weeks back.

That is one cool buggy but I'm not loving the body from distance, even though it looks sick up close!

:shock: I agree with the above comments. That is awesome. I am also very curious about the performance. If it runs as good as it looks...

I'm more of a mechanical guy than a body & paint guy so I bought the body off of ebay a few years back.
No video until it snows, which is still 4-6 weeks out. I put some tires on the front and blasted around in the gravel driveway to check things out. Traction is fine. Had I made a hub a little wider than the one I had laying around I could have used the tracks full width. Depending on how it does in the snow I may go back and do that.

Very little snow so far, but I did make a short video. Also made a panning platform for the gopro using r.c. parts.
