Found some interesting vehicles that all you pimps might want to mod. I'll let the links speak for themselves.

1/43rd Buggy
R/C Spy Truck w/Camera
Monster Truck (prolly 43rd scale)
Mini Hovercrafts (I know it should go in another forum, but it's just one link, hope you don't mind)

Here's a couple pics from R7R:

Woah, the buggy. I gotta get me one of those

. The pic with the iwaver converted buggy looks like a lot of fun to drive, and relatively easy to convert the front end to use a servo.

Yea, I heard stock the buggy is crap, but it's not like anyone who has the right mind will leave it stock. I can see the potential it has. I'm just waiting for the first person to make independent rear suspension on this buggy, I can see lots of flexplates, but I'd love to see someone come up with an IRS on this thing. I also wonder what the hovercraft is like.

Yea, I noticed Hiroto has the same avatar as me, when I first joined I looked around and didn't see anyone with the same avatar. Maybe because I post so little Hiroto didn't see any of my posts and used the same avvy.

I was just thinking this baby is screaming for IRS. Ill have someting like that done on her just as soon as i get her in the mail. Im thinking some overland shocks, IRS, Brass U joints, the whole thing....cant wait

EDIT:

My buggy just came in the mail today, i got a good 7-10 seconds of play time out of it before i started ripping out the guts

People werent kidding when they said it was slow stock. It comes with two cells and a very tiny bit motor is used to power it. (thing wouldnt even run on carpet stock)

Now, onto the good stuff. Everything is cleaned out and its ready for an upgrade. Im thinking dual blue superslick motors with an SE board and SE steering. In the rear ill have a full IRS using some brass U joints. THe front sort of has a suspension and it works for the time being but that will also need to be upgraded. All in all the performace isnt up to snuff but the platform is great

and im loving the body. Im thinking ill stick this sucker on the vacuform, make a mold and start making some lexan versions of this body for other projects
