Shorter chassis should be here tomorrow... so I started the tear down. I really like how modular RCs are these days.

Heck yea I’m a sucker for Bugs some reason. Especially Baja bugs!!
Caint wait to see the build
 
I think I'm gonna start with a Summitlink body... Baja style, at $35, it's cheap enough for a proof of concept.
If anybody needs some 1/2 price DR10 parts (Body, wheelie bar, wheels & tires), let me know. :happy:
 
Wheelie bars possibly
Here is my Baja bug sure you seen it. It’s shelf queen for most part.

I’m loving it!!!
Sick 🤒 in good way!!!!
 
After trying, and not liking, the VW body with this chassis, I went with the AE Buggy body instead, along with some white wheels and knobby tires, so now it's ready for the dirt...
