[tiger1]

Old car refurbished again.

BTW, I custom made the driver for that super narrow buggy cabin I will show that in another post.

No description? What the heck is it?

[tiger1]

Ha, ha, I thought most experienced RC hobbyist would know this car

This one has changed a lot though, many areas are modified in this car

See this thread http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=9627

Very nice finnishing touch.

No need to check the link here: I immediately recognized your mugen bulldog.
(Why did you start a new thread again for this same car?)

Mr. Ed:

I only proivde the link because MrLexan asked earlier.

I started a new post on this car because even though this was a re-work of the Mugen Bulldog, this set up has a totally different outcome from the other modification I made earlier. Somehow, this looks more 'proper' than my previous attempt, which looked a bit 'make-shift'.... I hated those Topforce wheels and tires but somehow the tamiya wheel and tire + the graphite cage + wing makes it look just right as a buggy from the 80s.

After all, at this stage I feel more keen to run it and get it going. The MIP differentials are super smooooooth and the mid-differential work super smooth too. Can't wait to run this little guy.

I see it now.... the gear case now looks familiar to me.

What HPI vehicle did those shocks come off of?

[tiger1]

I cant remember too well, but I think it was from that HPI 4wd truck. The first one HPI made after they started the RS4 series, likely the one after rs4 rally.

Push this one for those who is interested

Oh my god~ This is too cool!!! I would like to do the same thing for my Bull dog.

[tiger1]

some minor changes

lowered the front shock

[tiger1]

also slimmed down the wing

Very impressive Bulldog!

[Coelacanth]

Very cool build! Hardly even looks like a Bulldog anymore. I like what you did with the shocks and fitting that body/driver doll, but not so much the wing mods. At the very least, the wing angle probably needs to be raised for it to have any effect.

Looks really impressive. How does it handle? Will you install an undertray?
