how bout some pics on the beach?

Thanks for the few comments guys, it goes straight to my heart . People do seem to visit this thread but never leave any feedback...

Spider, I would love to take it to the beach and shoot some pics, but it's like 2 hours by car from where I live. One day, maybe...

David,
only in Belgium 2 hours is considered a long drive.

Here it is considered a long drive only if you do it twice daily: to go to work and return home
Serious: we're spoiled in our little country.
In Japan I'll be happy if I can find an offroad track for my rc buggies at 2 hours driving distance.

By the way still a great looker, but if I can make a suggestion: get some 'balloon' tires for the front, with maximum 2 or 3 ribs. I think it will look much better.

What's your plan for those wingtubes?

I know Belgium is a very small country compared to the US (32.000 square kilometers and 10 millions inhabitants), you can cross it from Esat to West (the longest distance) in 3 hours by car! We have mountains (well, let's say hills) in the East and coast (about 70 kilometers) in the West. A pretty nice little country in fact, if only it would not rain so much...

Coming back to this thread, I know I should try to find some 2-3 ribbed front tires, but the rims are 1.9 or so and there is not a whole range of choice... As for the wing tubes, I once installed a pretty nice aluminium wing on it, and I can't decide wheter or not I should leave it. The rear bulkhead already had them installed when I mounted it on the chassis and I did not eeven pay attention at the time if they were useless or not. Any suggestion for those front tires (make...) would be welcome! Thanks for your comments Ed, hope to meet you one day here or in Japan, who knows? Cheers

Holy Cow!!! You got that thing looking so nice. If you put an aluminum wing on it, please leave a warning before the pic because if it looks like what I have pictured in my head, I'll pass out.

And if you need some beach shots, I live 10 minutes from the coast. I would take good care of it for you

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ok, I'll send it to you for taking pics on the beach but you'll have to buy me a 1st class plane ticket, IDA Y VUELTA

I'll also send you a PM before mocking the alu wing so that you have time to put your on as your pacemaker

Thanks for your funny comments buddy

If I had the money, I would do it in a heart beat.

And thanks for the PM offer, I'll need it

freaking sweet...

righteous rig dude. you could totally put a driver and a couple seats in there if you used lipo.

That thing is super sweet Asso-man! I want one so bad..... I think the gold shocks are the ticket, and the holes in the wheels really set it off in my opinion. Personally I would keep it wingless, but that's just me....

Hoopty, what ever happened to your tuber? I looked for the old thread on it but couldn't find it.

thanks for the compliments mates , I really appreciate, I must say it's one of my personal favorites. I'll post a pic with the wing and other tires, but I also think it looks nastier without it. I still plan to install the "Willy's" driver, but that is gonna take a while before I paint it, adapt and so on... stay tuned

Here comes the alu wing and Kyosho Sand Super front tires, what do you guys think? Leave it or trash it? lol

The wing looks a little too big... kind of out of place. Just my opinion. The buggy looks great overall though!

i like it, i think it could be raised up a bit more but its looking amazing

YESSSS! The bomb for sure. That is one sweet thing. If we had a hall of fame for special looking 10's, this one would easily be inducted.
