I have ran a Hotshot on 4s and a 5700 mamba in the past and the gearbox held up fine....the tires didn't tho

I prefer the real deal... Just like racing at Hobby World in the 80s.

Recreation of my favorite 2wd buggy back in the 80s....always wanted one but never could afford one back then....click on pic for clarity

It is the main shaft for an 870c...its not the diffs tho, possibly a one-way for the front belt, not familiar with that spring

Nice car and cool back story!

Starting the assembly with a fresh Picasso custom cut from Malar at Factory Works

Had to change the front arms and suspension to get it working smooth, it will all match when done, I hope, still under development....got some custom length towers coming from Factory Works... finally getting somewhere, got a body ordered I think will fit....prolly go Andy Jacobson for paint for an ...

Got the body cut out and Jeffs custom rear tower on, still a long list to do....

It's a surprise!...but it fits like one of O.J.s gloves!
