Hi everyone!!!
First, sorry about the crappy camera work... Out of frame shots & very shaky rookie work, get a bucket ready.. LOL

I got this kit from The RC Elf about a year ago...Thank You so Very Much Man!!!! It didn't take long to build, but it takes me forever to wanna paint... Lack of enthusiasm I guess, but I did want to do a good job and make it look good, I did notice today (the day of recording) that I forgot to finish painting the steering wheel. The reason for that is, I wanted to use l a silver necklace as a "Chain Steering Wheel" however, the buggy's "wheel" area is deeper than I thought and I simply forgot to paint it, Of course I remember now... That's how is goes, right?

Now the fun stuff....
I'm also doing a motor swaps at the same time as running the buggy..
Today was the stock 380 motor & a silver can 540 motor with a 17 tooth pinion I took from my Tamiya Sand Viper (It will go back in).

*** Next set of motors is the Tamiya Super Sport BZ motor & Trinity Paradox Pro Stock motor (discontinued). Which one will be faster? ***

Tamiya Holiday Buggy 2010 Kit #58470
The RC Elf also sent a set of Fast Eddie DT-02 bearings for the buggy... They will go in after the next motor speed test, then all 4 motors will be ran again

Thanks for Watching
