I got so frustrated with this buggy today I almost threw the damn thing in the lake.

Bent a barrel nut and busted a rear lockout.

Two separate incidents.

12lbs at speed across the rocks.

I wasn't going easy on it.

Also launched it off a 3 ft droop topped out in 2nd gear.

Best way to kill a hobby is to make a job out of it, that's for sure. It's happened to many of my 1:1 friends.

Thanks James. If you like, I'll post some outdoors and Go Fast, soon as I get it all set-up for the task.

BTW Did you know that this Campbell share the same dimension as Poison IVY? Hmm, Large Scale Jeep It's now powdercoated in Black and am figuring out best axles for these.

TXT-1 axles, I believe. If RC4WD does longer width of the aluminum or even better, a steel version of the Black Widow (Spyder) axles, a pair would find their way under these, for sure.

Absolutely extremely enjoyable, THANKS! She's just one of the best drives, if you ask me. However, her imposing stance never fails to draw the crowd's attention even among those that never saw or know anything about rock crawling. Maybe not like a charismatic leader but definitely an exceptional show Buggy. THANKS!

The custom pan hard F/R, built-in steering servo, matched with a pair of spyder axles gets me all excited. The Delrin Skid Plates and side panels are done. Axles and transmission are in-bound but still looking for 1" wide 2.2. non-beadlock wheels for the michelin XL tires, THANKS!

I made a set of red rings, delrin skid plate, and GTR shocks.
Have a pair of aluminum knucles for the rear and 2 sets of axle case on the way. And thinking if these would be suitable?

This thing is evolving nicely. I like the direction that you are going with all of the upgrades.

Keep it UP!
