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
Last night as I was sorting out parts for sale I had my worlds buggy out on the table and my son said, are you put a body on that? Which got me thinking, what body fits best and looks best. I have tried a couple of bodies that just didn't work out....

I haven't had much luck on this issue so far. This is a protoform losi ripper body i trimmed up but as you can see the sides are too narrow.
So I dropped by the hobby shop and picked up these vintage beauties.
I'm in the middle of building a composite craft/RPM worlds buggy and trying to figure out the best body to use on it. It looks like the ultramolded chassi preference is a losi xx body, but I haven't seen if there is something recommended for the...

I picked this up off of ePay with a super cheap Buy it now price

12 years later I finally do something with this chassis. I changed out one of the front shock bodies and a few incorrect screws. Installed a set of Tecnacraft wheels along with an Andy’s painted Protech and Thorp wing
With all the quarantine talk I elected to R/C and chill this weekend on a few projects. One of them was this buggy I bought and initially built a few years ago.
This buggy was worth all the ordeal it took to get. One day while surfing Craigslist I...

Andy still sells the painted Renegade though his eBay account.
On Friday a shapeways package came with my Toykid Beach Buggy kit. Overall the pieces are very nice. The body will need some smoothing before painting it. The rest of the parts look like they are ready for primer and paint. Gonna have to...

I used a whole can of Rust-Oleum sandable primer gave up on that and then used 5 coats of 2K automotive filler primer and pounded it until it was running off the bottom. then sanded that smooth. sealed it sanded that smooth again and painted it....
