1/8 Buggy Pic Thread

[hockeyhead019]

hey guys,

haven't seen a thread like this (if there is one please just delete this one of the mods haha) but i was hoping you guys would post some picks of your buggies as i'm trying to get an idea for a good layout and some new body paint idea... figured this would be a good way to figure it out is too look at what you guys have already done. Cheers

Unfortunately, I haven't got any pics of my XB808's bodyshell (and it's gone now ), but it was brilliant.

I'll have to see if I can find any...

[JonyNitro]

Just a few things to do is heat shrink the cable,and small other bits, sweat and blood has gone in to this, Hope you like, paint is Kifo

[Marvin]

Some nice conversions there - like the sleeving JonyNitro.

-Rcrcrus, I'd shorten the motor wires if I were you - less resistance, and less interference.

Welcome to the Forum Dom, did you shrink some Moto Cross tyres for your buggy. They're proper hard core aren't they ?

@ Dave the rave - looking really nice mate. I'll have your shell done soon, will be a bit brighter than that one

[DomCharlton]

They are Nanda block tyres (these thing does get bashed too. :P )
Very cheap and work incredibly on grass, mud or what have you rubbish on a track though, very hard wearing too.

I've got a set of mini spikes on it for the track.
These are them if anyones interested?

Never seen tyres like that, quite impressed actually. Would love to see how they go on the track !

No shell on pics ?
