Holy prettiness! Is that a word? I was just getting ready to redo my Kinwald buggy after some good runs and a needed freshening.
What is the history of this part? Is it made by Trinity? Did they make one for buggy too?

Yeah I believe it is a Trinity part... and the buggy bulkhead is the same one used for the truck, or visa-versa.RCveteran wrote:Holy prettiness! Is that a word? I was just getting ready to redo my Kinwald buggy after some good runs and a needed freshening.

Good find... strangely this was quite a popular upgrade back in the day IIRC... which is odd considering the original plastic part wasn't prone to failure.... but then we are all rather taken with a bit of anodised 'bling'..... which I guess what this truck build is all about - I love it, because it has all those parts that I would have longed-for, peering up at the peg-board in my local model shop. Most of these parts wouldn't have offered much more than maybe a bit more durability - the most important advantage is the looks!

The TEAM LOSI XXTcr, GTX, NXT CLEAR SHOCK BODIES / 5346 should look great when mounted!! You should use the blue MIP shock seals!!!
