This is my FS MT. At least thats what it started out as, guess it's more Buggy than MT now This is what i done so far: -Replaced all bearings with sealed SKF. -All new electronics and killswitch. -New shocks. -New wheels. -Steel gears. -New airfilter. -New fuellines. -Diff mod -New flange on the pipe so it fits the exhaust port. -Removed the choke. -changed the front bumper a bit. Next on the wishlist is Zenoah G270RC and MCD diffs. Alloy servotray, diffcarriers, gearplate,centerdiff and brake holders wouldnt hurt either ;D The truck runs and handle pretty well now but i have problems with the E-clips on the gears tend to fall off. Guess ill have to drill the axles out, get me some tapering tools and put bolts in to secure the gears, or does anyone have other tips? There is also to much play in the steering.

cool looking buggy, reminds me of lbsickboys buggy, what gear ratio do you run with the FG buggy wheels? there is another mod to improve the steering, will get some photos up soon. there is another type of C clip you can use, im not sure the name.. lbsickboy will know it.. take care

Running the standard MT gear ratio: 24-39-25-24 i think.
The fuel is standard petrol from the gas station, dunno why but the unleaded 95 octane here in Norway has this redish/orange color to it.
A steering mod exept the upside down sevos one would be great:)

Ahh....i see.
Been alot of hype about the new victory pro pipe here in Norway, it aint even out for sale yet but people are allready selling their old pipes^^
The tests thats been done so far are VERY promising tho.
