Here come the buggy



After my 1/18 truggy gone mia...(due to undesirable circumstances which i don't want to explain further) i've manage to pickup some scraps left over from truggy and convert it into a buggy using aftermarket upgrade which i aquired from my friend via trade. Took 2 days to re-built including cutting the body shells, painting, parts assembly and stress test.
The buggy looks astonishing with solid sturdy looks, major blue alu bling and pure white luxury look. I didn't paint the rear shell but to give it transparent looks so everyone can see its guts inside. The Buggy now is 20% heavier from my last Truggy setup due to fact most of the suspension arms sets are made from tough alloy metal and stabilizer kit. The low slug shell makes it harder to fit it crowded cockpit which force me to rearrage the wires and components to much lower height. Motor heatsink default bulk out with fan on top forcing me to cut a hole to allow more space for the heatsink set to pop-out, anyways at the sametime giving optimum cooling since its outside sucking more air in. Because its arms are shorter in width against Truggy setup so corneting and stability are much unstable which now rely on driving skill and shocks setup to keep it below the Center Gravity limit.
