Buggy from the past

Post by wyattroa »

Thought I would get this guy back up and running. I used to love this car back in the day, it was my cousins car. Well, long story short he let me borrow it and then he got a divorce from my cousin and never saw him again. This was 14 years ago, his loss is my gain.lol..I just went through another set of gear in the trans, I really wish they made them in metal instead of plastic. Well, here are the pics

Not going to restore it, just run her as it is. I might attempt to put in a stealth trans so I don't have to deal with the two plastic gears of this trans. Not even sure where I could find parts to restore this car. Most of it seems to be in good working condition.

How much understeer do you have to have to wear out the FRONT tires like that?

For as long as I can remember the tires were that way. The car has not been driven in 14 years. This may actually be the original tires from the kit. Who knows though. Lol

Not really. Only on the very inside and outside of the tires. It looks as if it was a x patern which would go across the entire tire.
