The TA02 chassis is so versatile, although of course it really just comes down to the gearbox. They've done sedans, baja trucks, rally cars, and buggies with it. Good stuff...

Update some progress.
Sad to say that I have lost to the Wing Set last night auction.
Before I visit my bed I'm the highest bidder to make myself confortable I added more to increase my bid. Early this morning when I open up my account this is the message I got "You did not win this item"
Thou I set my mind that I will not bid higher than the amount I bit, it so sad knowing that you were beaten by a dollar.
I've order the body shell already , so I will rename the title of this thread "A buggy without a wing"
