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.

LRP SHARK aka ANDERSON MB4

Been runing this little critters for a month now after i sold off all my touring cars including parts and tools because this new ones are better both off-road an on-road. Small, portable, computerised high tech, jaw dropping power and speed not even any of our local real size supercar can catch up with it. Have both world latest technology and world most dangerous explosive power under the hood. Having going through several models throughout my secondary hobby lifespan i found this one an ideal racer both on-road and handling.

Specification:
-------------------------------
model: LRP SHARK 18/ANDERSON MB4
transmission: 4WD with 4 spider diff system
radio rx: Sanwa 2.4Ghz with fail safe

motor: Castle Creation CM2040 - 4200kv

What can i say, this is the most perfect rc model i ever own, everything custom built inside according to my driving style. The speed, power and computerised tuning is the most drooling factor to own one. Infact was a great machine to race against my rival on the race track...soon.
