| Re: first southern buggy any tips?
man this is hard. i was on this story, but i didnt have the parts you do, only a broken 20$ rc toy with extreme heating reciever  it didnt come any good, and i ordered a rs10 XT. but do you know the mechanics of those cars? you want a motor on each axle, or 1 motor with shafts going into each axle? do you have a servo and arm, and links, and shocks? the motor itself? all the electronics...? you'll need all this. research a little bit. i recommend you buy a cheap crawler like i did, and then upgrade it. so you have something to start from, you could then see how everything is done and understand. but you can also buy electronics and parts and build it! and if you know how it works i think you'll do fine. |

Good luck with the build... U really need to read and search ALOT more. All of the Q's u have asked r very basic build questions which have been asked before and answered. I spent close to six months reading build threads, researching all the different techniques and using the search function for every question I had before I made my first post. The more u research the better your build will turn out. Best of luck
