I got a shirt in my Buggy Champ. It will fit my son next year, I will give it to him for his birthday. I think it might be a youth large.

arrrg.. i have never put together a NIB. i am so left out. i might have to get one of those losi 22 kits when they come out

that's an impressive buggy, and it would satisfy my kit building virgin-ness, as well as add the 1st losi ever to my collection. unless you count playing the team losi RC racing game for hundreds of hours in my youth

Horizon bought them out some time ago. I checked on my Losi 22 they say it will be in on the 25th. I am very excited!! I cant wait till it gets here. I will be racing it this summer.
I also just ordered a Ball diff for the Buggy champ. I am going to build the Scorcher as a shelf Queen. with the Aluminum wheel halfs and bumpers and make it scale. and I am going to put the diff in the Buggy Champ with the the ABS Bug body I have. and its going to be my runner, and racer at the Vonats.

My wife is a Scrap Booking weekend with the girls in Va Beach. so I said if your going to the Beach I was going to. she wasnt happy so I got my own room and I have My son and son in law, she took the girls, but any weekend at the beach is better than a weekend at home.
