Had a fun test day today with this little buggy out in the west desert on the Utah/Idaho border


Buggy worked great but needs some foam and spring tuning for sure



Still need to finish body panels and clean up some wiring

That thing is looking amazing!

How did you like the tires? I've had my eye on those since they came out.

This thing turned out pretty damn cool! I recognize that servo armor. Glad to hear it’s a performer also

Dude! Another cool and unique rig to come out of your shop!

Great looking tube chassis! Very nice detailing of the driver and dash panel!

Wheel and tire combo looks awesome! Nice pics of that excellent outdoor play area you have out west!

Beautiful, so i am new to this, is this a 1:10 scale or how does that work 1.9 ?

I truly appreciate the work put into those builds

When someone custom builds a vehicle and calls it a 1.9, they are referring to the fact that it either has (or is meant to have) tires mounted to 1.9 inch diameter wheels.

In the RC crawler world, there are 1.55, 1.7(somewhat rare), 1.9, and 2.2 inch diameter wheels.

Finished look looks awesome! May use this build for inspiration to build myself one of these moon buggies someday! Thanks for sharing!

Hopefully somebody in here (or near me) buys it so I/we can see more of this beautiful build out on the rocks!
