Not too much new here! Been building some of these Sand Scorcher based buggies. 95% vintage aftermarket parts. They're built like 70s VW based desert race buggies and still use the VW style front axle. I'm almost done with a super rare version of this buggy that's 4wd too. This is mostly what I collect these days.
Also been building a lowrider Bug.
It's all scratch built. Lots of 3d printed parts.
custom built 6ch 2.4ghz radio. Pistol grip with a switch box for simulated hydraulics.
It's a pretty slow process but should be done in a couple months. |

how's that? They have joints though. I think a live axle is straight, no joints, right? |

It's coming along pretty slow! The chassis is about ready to break down for polish, paint, dye, etc. The body is in it's silver base coat. I need to get the paint masks cut for the next color though. Need to find a local vinyl shop that can knock that out this week. Also waiting on the servos I want to use to get back in stock. They probably won't be in until next month though. It's a slow process! I'm ready to wrap this one up so i can get on with other projects. |

Slowly coming along. Next I've got to get the graphics in the silver insert areas, clear/wet sand/polish, and then all the body trim can go on.
