Damm, an RX8 ! jheesh.
This is a seriously sexy but Bad a$$ Buggy
Nice work and kudos for spending the $$ on awesome looking axles, like the rear shock and overall look. Be better if you had a lower profile or less interior obstructing tranny. This really deserves and interior with seats.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I have some sweet metal braided line that will cover the servo wires if your are interested. picture


Makes we want to build another Buggy

it may get a basic interior. as for up dates i have the axles completely done and just like a few mounts in the front and it will be a roller. altho i did zip tie the upper links and the shocks to the frame to get a general idea of what i was up against. i really cant do much more to it until i take the t8 combo out of my m&m buggy so i can build accordingly. it's just so damn fun i hate to take it out!

Man I'm loving this rig. The more I look at this thread, the more I want a set of these axles. I'm tired of using wideners on mine... I might of missed it, what did you narrow these down to? I believe stock they are 12" wide. Do they hold up to the abuse of a T8 well? Thanks.

Awesome build!!
Hope you dont mind me building my own version of this I seen that Blower Buggy in action at the hammers and just had to make my own mini version. Watching that thing tear up the "back door" was impressive! I've got pictures of it climbin the side of the course and people scrambling to get out of the way.....
