Styrene work sucks

And might I add, these vp lockouts have absolutely ZERO slop in them and paired with this thick Rc blood grease these things should last a lifetime. I highly recommend the blood grease. Oh and I want to say maxamps lipos are awesome, put in my order and they sent me an email saying they will start to build the lipos right away(yes they build them directly from your order) and they arrived within 3 days. Even gave me tags of each individual person that handled them along with the job they were assigned to. I want everyone to go to the maxamps side:)

Passenger seat won't fit because the battery wires come out where that seat is. I might go back and try a different way. And no mud because it's not done yet. Still waiting on my lsx motor(which seconds as a receiver box. Waiting on my side panels to have decals applied . Also new shocks, getting kyosho red velvet shocks.
 
Now that is what I call custom. That is pretty cool man. What are you going to call that thing? Mine is always gonna be a T-Maxx. Your buggy is like a creatively engineered piece of functional art. I can't wait to see the final product. How did you come up with all the combinations of parts? Do you have a stolen credit card or something? Does your wife have any sisters? Just kidding.
"Styrene work sucks" LOL . You did pretty damn good I think.
 
It's based off of a 1:1 called riot buggy. I had the chassis custom built and day by day I ordered the parts I needed to get the job done. This thing is called riot buggy just like the real thing. I love it so far!
 
Refined the space for my esc. The rx8 is big and it was the only place I could put it and it actually works out good. Direct airflow into cooling fins so I can't complain and its out of the way!

ADded an oh s**t bar and a gas cap and handle to my fuel cell. Doing a few minor scale attachments while I wait on my winch, shocks and Lsx engine. After I get those three and a few more scale items handmade riot buggy will be done!

Got my engine in today, got a compartment for a receiver! Gave it a dirty look. Thanks to Brandon at bkrc metal works! Now I'm gonna make me some headers and paint the rest of it:) also gotta put some studs on the valve covers to give it an intimidating look
