Are they 1:18 buggies in the first shot?

Re: My 2011 VONATS Buggys
Seeing that we are getting closer I figured it was time to make sure i had some spare parts this year. I ordered 2 idler gears(stripped one last year), new set of tires, and some other misc parts.
This year I plan to finish better, and be less of a moving obstacle. Been putting in some practice time at the local track.

Been there, done that. Ride 'em hard and put 'em away wet! I'll go to grab one and think 'Oh yeah, it's broke...' Wish I could make the race. Just too much work still. There's always next year.bearrickster wrote:I broke my Buggy Champ on the beach and for got to fix it.

What part do you need to fix it? I might have a spare. Need to get as many SRBs on the track this year we can. It could look like scene from the old Tamiya brochures.

Re: My 2011 VONATS Buggys
It was a blast!! I might need to repair the front end, get a 2.4 receiver and bring it back. Although, I don't know how other people can run 3 classes, I had trouble with just running two.

hey ed, remember to fix that wing.
add the angled shims under it and get a new wing with the rear dam intact.

Going to work on the wing mount, but I thought that part of the wing was suppose to be cut out
Might be entering it in the upcoming race at R/C Excitement JConcepts Fall Nationals. Need to get more race time so I can make the B Main next year. I spent hours practicing, but nothing compares to actual racing practice.
