Hello everybody,

like those Baja Bugs alot:

...and decide to build my own in 1:10.

At first i did a little hard welding:

After that was done, lets see if the axles would fit:

Looks good so far ;-)

...okay then lets go for a pouder coating:

...looks like i'm on the right way.

Here are a few technical informations:

Front and rear axle (Tranny) from Tamiya Super Fighter G with a little
mods. Tamiya Lancia 037 1.9" rims with RC4WD Mud Trasers in the front
and Tomahawks in the rear. Motor is a Carson BL Shooter 12T, controller will be a Carson Dragster Sport.

Hope you like it :-)

Typical German Engineering :) Hell, even if it drove like crap, that's worth having just to stare at on the shelf.
 
you just cost me

OK for 1 nice job it looks awsome and can't wait to see more. Now the problem you just cost me alot of time and money since I'm going to have to build my bajabug in 1/10 scale since you built the kreger trophy bug . I'm allittle biased sorry but that bug is awsome the 1to1 and yours. (the only thing that I don't like about the grey bug is it only has 180 hp thats why mine has 550 hp)

Quit braggin' and hurry up and get your track ready to Slash bash! :ror: Nice build BTW.
 
I think i found out what my next build will be! That thing is amazing and i also like the defender you did. Any chance on selling the buggy? "thumbsup" I can't wait to see the finished product.
 
Would like to thank my mom and dad, and all the people who made this
project posible, thank you, thank you, thank you all... ;-)

Okay lets get serious...

Did some work on the intierior (driver with bucket seat, dashboard and so...)
and also finished RC wiring (BL Motor has lots off power :shock: altough the Lipo
wasn't charged)... Pics will follow :)

By the way, the body i use is sold by a german dealer:

Hello,

you have to school yourself to patience, just a little ;-)

Here are some pictures of the working progress:

...okay driver is still headless, but color would be dry tomorrow :ror:

What's missing? Taillights need a housing, hopefully done tomorrow too.

Ordered another body from Kamtec and will compare both bodies.
