Decided to take the Factory Works comical chassis out of it's bag and strap some parts to it. More to come later but since the parts car had JRX-T wheels on it decided to see how silly a Mini JRX-T body looks on it. fun fact it's almost the same wheelbase just ALOT wider.
I need to get some other parts and I need to rebuild the transmission (?) I'm not sure if I'll continue trying to make it a buggy or do it as a truck, I'm kind of on the fence, the Monster Mini JRXT is kind of compelling.

Only a buggy has the "comical" effect. A truck just looks like a smaller monster truck.

It's kinda got a cartoony effect going on. Being on a comical chassis I think it counts. Maybe the body could be moved back slightly and cut so it'd sit lower with the towers poking out to get the fully adorkable appearance? Left alone if it's being enjoyed as is? ...Mr. Owl would have the answer...

That's until you see it from the top or front and it looks ridiculous as it's wider than it is long but also if I do the same thing with an actual 1/10 scale body it;ll look a lot more comical. I have some ideas for how I'm going to arrange the electronics to keep the nose down. This yields a 48/52 split without the ESC and Rx which ain't bad at all especially a joke car.

Last time I asked Mr. Owl a question he stole my lollipop and ate it in front of me.

Holy cow... That was YOU?!?!

I think that looks awesome with the mini JRXT body! The wide/truck RPM arms really add to the comical effect too.

If i do decide to go that route ill have to trim the chassis a bit.

So I decided to cut up the body that came on my JRX Pro when i first got it.

It's Miller Time! I'm not sure I want to put buggy wheels on it now though.

Truck tires go well with a comical buggy. I'm confused though about this:

"I have some ideas for how I'm going to arrange the electronics to keep the nose down."

Keep the nose down? I think the goal should be just finding a way to keep it from wheeling over backwards. But nose in the air all the time is part of the fun!

I mean it's going to wheelie regardless, but I kinda want to see how well i can make something with this short of a wheelbase handle.
