Hey everyone, some of you may have seen my 1st gen GT in the truck section. I also have a soft spot for buggies.
This is my Graphite roller. I actually picked this one up from ebay. It needs some TLC but overall it is fairly good condition. Even though it does have a box art paint scheme to be period correct, I'm just not a huge fan of it. I will leave it alone to remain correct (unless I change other parts to build a "mod" buggy).

I am still stumped on what esc / motor to put in it. ESC can be burned up as long as it looks good. Buggy is for display only.

Looks great mate.. I'm not up on the correct electronics but someone will no doubt help.. Yeah I had the chance to buy a graph boxart body the other day for cheap an I'm the same,not a huge fan. You could go team colours

Looks good but why do you have it jacked so high in the air?

I will most likely change a few parts including the body & wing.

I have not messed with it much since I got it. The previous owner set the suspension up (no oil and bent rear shaft). Once I get the rear shaft for it I will set it up correctly.

I've never been a huge fan of the rc10 bodies, but that is my favorite paint job!
