[MOC] Rug Dune Buggy (made for Buwizz "fast car" competition)

[JamesJT]

Made for jumps, crashes and the toughest of rug dunes: I would like to present my entry for the buwizz fast car competition - "Rug-buggy".

I had a lot of fun filming this.

Brilliant,

Watching your gret little clip and can say this is the first time I have been tempted to go out and buy a buwizz as it looks a lot of fun.

Pretty simple, nice looking body.

Performance also looks good. 

Good luck at the contest!

Nice idea with using buggy motor as a suspension lever.

Have you tried this with bigger wheels?

Nice, looks like a lot of fun! I agree with @Pvdb, this tempts me to buy one :)

I wanted it to be as simple as possible so nothing would fall off. Thanks.

.8475 uses the buggy motor as a suspension lever. I tried bigger wheels but they were heavier and ruined the acceleration and "jump-ability".

Indeed looks a whole lot of fun!!!

Looks like a heck of a lot of fun to drive! Simple, fast, and fun makes a good RC model. Good luck in the contest!

Hi @JamesJT,

this is great and the jumping performance is really good. It is definitely a frontrunner in the BuWizz contest 

I am working on my entry. But I am not sure, if I can make it. I need to take an outdoor video and weather conditions are quite bad at the moment.

By the way: BuWizz delivery is quite fast. Having no BuWizz is a lame excuse for skipping this contest 

Good luck!
