We still have a supply of the original nose piece, rear arms and CF shock towers. Even have one or two of the very original one-piece molded shock towers. I think D.M.S. has these parts too, though I doubt most model shops have them.
The Squared was built to be as close to the original as possible in performance characteristics.
I have a buggy in my car ready to run. It's never been raced but I carry it around so when people say, "What kind of work do you do," I just get it out and show them. Saves a lot of explanation. My buggy is an original. Every now and then I think about building a Squared for this purpose -- I probably ought to have the latest and greatest -- but I always find something better to do. The original is still faster than I want to go...
