Shodog’s ’93 Worlds buggy

Post by shodog »

I had a little bit of time to spend on this buggy. It had been living in a box as parts for about a year now. Built pretty much stock with the exception of the tecnacraft turnbuckles and andy's arms

What are the advantages/disadvantages to running those wheels?

How come your runners are so much prettier than my shelfers?

Honestly I didn't set out to make this that nice. I even went with a set of used andy's arms instead of busting into some new packages for some stockers. As for the wheels, they probably won't get ran. they are a really sloppy fit in the front and the rear doesn't leave enough length on the axle to let the nut get into it's locking feature. I have a set of stock plastic wheels that will do the trick. The body however will fit the runner bill. It was on my new built 6010 but now I have a box art body for that and this body became an extra. I'm getting that radio gear together to install.

A mini update for this thread. Switched out the body for a custom painted one from Andy’s. Ditched the Lohan’s wheels in favor of a genuine set of Tecnacraft wheels. Also installed a Tecnacraft aero foil wing. I made real carbon fiber side plates and covered the wing in optical solar reflector tape.

I felt like there was too many Renegade bodies in my RC10 collection so when this Andy’s custom painted mirage popped up and jumped on it. I don’t know if this buggy will ever be a runner as I like it too much now.

Absolutely STUNNING!
I fully understand your choice to keep this car on the shelf. Some cars are just too purdy to risk getting scratched.
It's as purdy as a Christmas ornament. :D
