Hi, this started as a truck but I turned it into a buggy. I'm so into buggies and I love the coverage on oople. This car as a Mugen MST-1 front suspension and shocks. It has an associated t4 transmisson, associated rear arms, T4 Mip CVDs, J82 body and wheels (I know i cut the front of th body too much), custom graphite chassis, top deck, shock towers rear tower mount all made by fibre lyte in the UK. The rear shock tower mount is from the JCONCEPTS BJ4 and the wing mount is Losi xx4 it think. The chassis is based on the shape of the mugen mst1, however its got modified hole locations to fit the rear arm carriers of the Kysho RB5. The steering is ballbearing composed of two Traxxas blue aluminum posts and Tamiya 501x steering mechanism. The battery box is from an old Traxxas SRT/TCP, which i drilled to make lighter. The rear hub carriers are Mugen MST 1. The front spindle is in-line from some associated car or buggy. I had to cut the mugen steering crank to fit this spindle. This made the front narrower. With this moddification I can fit associated t4 wheels all the way around and maintain correct with if I want to make this a truck. This also provides correct widths for the J82 wheels. The only thing missing for this project is the Hot Bodies D2 plastic chassis pieces so I can sit my suspension on it. I wish they would release this car already. Does anone know where I can get such chassis sides made? I am thinkg of cuttting up the side chassis pieces from a T4.
