My 1/16 Racing Buggy

At the moment there is probably some fat guy sitting on the box its in eating his lunch at a Hong Kong air port.. but it will be here soon.

I actually come to HK via a search to buy some wire for my 1:1 Holden VT Commodore , then noticed the 1/18 ST for cheap, then I changed my mind to a Monster Beatle.. then the Racing Buggy come out, so I bought it the same day it was released (kind of spur of the moment after trumpy posted it).

I dont have any pics as of yet but it will look like this for about 5 when I get it. Ill take some pictures along the way and update this as it changes.

So far I have bought the following for it:
Mini Inferno Stadium Truck body
Mini Inferno Buggy wing
Aluminium C hubs
Aluminium front knuckles
Aluminium oil filled shocks
Metal servo
60A ESC
2848 4370kv motor (46A 500W)
12T,13T,14T,15T,17T pinion gears
Heatsink with fan for the original motor
Heatsink with fan for the new motor
+ a ton of spare parts

I have a few more things in mind that Ill probably get later but I'm not going to make the whole thing aluminium, I would rather break a plastic suspension arm than rip a metal one out of the diff that its attached to.

^ Old information above, Ill update it soon.

I thought I would post this video in the first post for new people looking at this thread.

Hi, you meant you will build one which will look like the buggy HK is selling? Did you get all these parts from HK?
