No sense starting a new thread, here’s the current progress of my current gas buggy I’ve been slowly working on. Nothing special, very used car as donor so the parts are fairly stained and yellow. Still a little more to go yet. F9503053-9BDC-4D1A-9EB6-C676F27CF92E.jpeg 71911D8B-9CDC-488C-BCA5-110672...

The wheels and tires weren't a hard decision. I have a set of B2 front and rear wheels, and also a set of Race Prep 925 rear / 926 front tires looking for a home. This seems like the right spot. .

A nice Composite Craft chassis RC10 showed up. The only real bummer is that 4 extra holes got added for a JRX2 battery cup. I guess I'll get some practice filling holes.

Step 4: Body Paint and Final Details.

There is at least one of the Vintage events (if not two) this year where there will be night runs on both offroad and onroad... I need some of the cars to be ready in this extend... I've modified the front Led holder I designed for the Fantom to suit the new bodyshell, printed in TPU and installed l...

Got the new Jconcepts Detonator Worlds body trimmed up and mounted. Still have to install the electrics and cut out some clear chassis tape for the bottom. Oh, and make a bumper.

The body got kinda beat up at the NC vintage race back in January, so it was time for a fresh one.

Failed! Side by side rockets won't work...3 attempts, won't go straight....going back to single barrel but a two stage setup....hoping for 150mph in 5 seconds Resized_20230429_191718.jpeg Resized_20230429_191758.jpeg Resized_20230429_191752(1).jpeg Resized_20230429_191833(1).jpeg Resized_20230429_19...

That went well...

Those are them. 👍👍 What part number are those for the front/rear for the World car? The rears are 1.32, but they never made that style in the proper .71 for the front. Only the V2 version that came on the Worlds re-release. You could get the earlier threaded shocks in an .89, but that will require ...

Added a few stickers, and lettering on the tires...





This car is now ready for the vintage events of this year...
