I decided to build this into a mid motor using a NIX kit from Fibre-Lyte and scrap my original "WOIN" style buggy idea.

Talk about a change in plans, lol. You have some really cool pieces going into this build. Are those A&L transmission spacers?

Those spacers were made by NomadRacer, a member here on the forum. And change of plans is an understatement. I realized the only part from the original truck is the nose plate! Not sure how it evolved so much, lol.

It is a change for the better, any way you look at it. :lol: I know it will whip up on whatever is on the track. That's cool that we have other members on here making their own parts. I have a cnc machine that I haven't messed around with in over a year. I had just learned how to use it, and unfortunately had a few problems at home to take care of first. I'll be making an order this week for some aluminum stock and endmills, and I will try to be back on track for 2019. I've got a few things in mind I'd like to try. If you know of any parts that people would like to see, let me know, and I will keep it in mind.
