Build Thread Lost’s HPI Vorza truggy

[Lostinthewoods86]

Waiting on the stuff to show up for my other build, this poor thing has been sitting under the bench for a while now . Engine is blown in it, so we’re going to attempt to build this one back better.

Before the tear down…

This is where we at now

need to get the diffs apart now and lots of cleaning. So far on the order list are all new shocks, Alpha T850, and dynamite 053 pipe (thanks LM )

Front diff done, housing is cleaned up, will get that back together later. Son wants to do some bashing so I gotta stop and get them trucks ready.

Rainy day, so good day to mess around with this

This thing came with some crappy plastic shocks on it. The HB upgrade ones were pretty high, so got to looking around for what else I could use. Enter Mugen grabbed some from jenny
