Looks wicked but would be rubbish at our club, as we have lots of airtime included in out tracks

I agree, it would be okay in the air but the landing would be troublesome.
I like to race against 4wd touring cars with a buggy, it is fun to beat some of the really expensive, want for nothing runners with a cheep 2wd car, thanks for the comment though

I have put electrics in needs battery holder then its now ready to go

but all over all it´d be a good idea.
I think you don´t need a lot of shocktravel (thats not the right word i know but i don´t know it better) indoors. What about moding a 4wd touring car (rally like) with longer a arms and stuff and a little longer shocks ?!? would be a lighter car for sure and you wouldn´t need to make a special indoor setup for your buggy =)

Looks great!

Its not really a buggy though is it? its a 1/12 onroad car with a buggy shell. Looks nice, and there is no reason that wouldn't be quick against a 1/10 touring car if the tyres etc are grippy.

on both counts - you are right, but it is so much fun

Reminds me of the Bolink...... I remember a couple making the A at the model engineers exhibition a long time ago.

Yeah, the front suspension is of my 20 year old Pro10 (235mm). I need a rear axle for it but can not find one so I took the bits off it to make this.
