The TA02 chassis is so versatile, although of course it really just comes down to the gearbox. They've done sedans, baja trucks, rally cars, and buggies with it. Good stuff...
:D

Update some progress.

Sad to say that I have lost to the Wing Set last night auction.
Before I visit my bed I'm the highest bidder to make myself confortable I added more to increase my bid. Early this morning when I open up my account this is the message I got "You did not win this item"
Thou I set my mind that I will not bid higher than the amount I bit, it so sad knowing that you were beaten by a dollar.

I've order the body shell already , so I will rename the title of this thread "A buggy without a wing" :(
