I had a bunch of spare parts from my days owning many clods, so I decided to build one. Only parts I purchased were esc, servo and wheels (why are they only available in chrome?).
Old parts on here are Apm chevy bumper, Duratrax v-spike & diamond spikevtires, RC Midwest reat cantilevers and front upper shock mounts, parma chevy stepside body, Monster Mash 2 motors. Side rails were scrap 5050 led track and I 3d printed lower shock mounts and chassis braces.
Really happy with this build and amazed how much power those 30 year old motors have!
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
Even though this is technically a buggy, I'm doing a truck conversion with it.
The plan is to build as much of it from my parts/junk boxes as possible. Of what you see here, the transmission ($40 parts trans)and rear control arms are the only...

Lookin' good! At first I thought this was gonna be a straight 10T build but it's more of an old school conversion! I fondly remember the truck conversion wars from bitd. I snapped up an Eagle right when they came out. Looking back on it now, all it...
I would like to thank Rizzo and Scollins for the idea. I've been working on this for about 2 weeks now, mostly waiting for the rear tires off Ebay. It was a very scratched-up chassis, little sanding and cutting added the paint plus spare parts from...

I was going to start disassemble and clean my 10T when I had a thought. Do I have enough spare parts to put another tub together? The answer of course was yes. It may not be pretty or complete(yet) :D But it has some cool stuff on it.Nothing was...

Front & rear arms, steering spindles, castor blocks and rear hubs. I buy these spares for any new buggy regardless of what it is.
Only additional thing I would suggest is titanium turnbuckles. Bent mine on the first race day.
I have a ton of parts from auctions I have won over the past several months and being the type of person who can't throw anything away I decided to see if I could put some of them to good use. I have had the two black rear rims for a while and I...

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll post some more pics with the driver and shell when they're done.
Heres the second car I worked on this weekend. Its assembled using a bunch of aftermarket spare parts I had laying around. The only AE parts are the 6gear tranny, bulkhead, shock collars, dog bones, body post and front suspension mounts. The rest of...
