Shodog’s ’93 Worlds buggy

[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

looks great...but are you going to run it with those wheels?

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.

Looks great! Really dig the body.

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.
