Tamiya Holiday Buggy fast attack vehicle project

Post by orangemazda »

I started a new Tamiya project. I've started with a Holiday Buggy. My intent is to narrow the front and rear, to use Fast Attack wheels and tires, and to paint the Holiday Buggy in an Army vehicle theme.

I narrowed the rear end using Wild Willy 2 rear arms:

In the front, I couldn't quite find any suitable arms that were quite the right length so I modified the stock ones:

That's it for now, stay tuned!

I think you can make it look even better by trimming those huge fenders.
