Scale 1/8 buggy

[nativepaul]

Well theres no progress pics today, I'm waiting for the XL clamp heatsinks to appear in stock at RCMonster.

So I broke out the camera again and took some pics of my last scale buggy I made, a bit smaller this one at 1:10th scale, it has had many power systems in it from mild to WILD, eventualy I settled for middle ground with some sort of unbranded 600 motor and 12 NiCads, prety quick with no regular resoldering of motor wires needed. it eventualy surcumed to excess play in all the bearings I striped her to replace them, but the plastic beariings had worn out the metal shafts instead of themselves. :019:



Belive it or not this used to be a tamiya Hornet, I had it laying around with a couple of broken parts for months before I buchered it.



I got inspiration for this project after seeing a ferarri 348 just like this with that number plate driving through my town, Lucky Git! (for those that cant make it out, the plate reads BEG 4 1T).



She is quite a looker, those windows are blue tinted translucent not the solid it looks like on camera.



Unfortunatly I put the bumper just behind the body for looks rather than pokeing out just under it, which chewed up the grill area from all the mishaps I had.
