THE LAST OF MY PROVEN \"BATTLE-TESTED\", DESIGNS
(3 SOLD within 90 days)
Just add a Battery and it\'s...
\"Ready-To-Run\"
You want \"Hopped-Up\"?...This is \"Hopped-Up\" on Steroids!
Born out of frustration from repairing/replacing weak original \"Vintage\" bodies and suspension parts !
Over $400 and many, many hours of research, trial & error and fabrication invested !
This may be the fastest \"old school\" buggy you\'ve ever driven, especially if you use a 3S LiPo Battery!
(I never had the courage to try a 3S...2S, @ 30+ MPH is fast enough for me!...even with AVC !)Details:

Rough Rider Body is Modified and Reinforced with 1/8\" Aluminum Roof, Wing and 3/16\" Roll Bar - Tough, Strong & Durable!

As you can see, the custom added Roof Wing takes the brunt of the damage.
Antenna Tube protects and elevates the antenna for better reception.
This Body is BATTLE TESTED by many roll-overs on PAVEMENT...Bruised, Battered But Intact! - A strong testament to its INCREDIBLE TOUGHNESS!

ALL NEW Front Suspension - Built with Stronger Re-Release Parts and aftermarket shocks!..I recently sold one w/Shock Tower Saver for $99.00!

Front axles are pinned to uprights with 1/16\" roll-pins to prevent separation resulting from the increased forces produced by the oversized tires.

HEAVY DUTY TURNBUCKLE STEERING RODS (provides durability and easy adjustment)...with a strong aluminum servo arm.

HARD-TO-FIND (Even Rare) FRONT SHOCK TOWER SAVER (CRP #1510) - This really works - comes with both original and Heavy Duty (shown) Tension Sleeves!

POWERFUL 4-Pole (High Torque) 4600kv Brushless Motor and NEW Sidwinder3 Programmable ESC w/Cooling Fan (Purchased as a \"recommended combo\" from Castle Creations) $95.00+ Value!

ONE-OFF CUSTOM welded aluminum Rear Cage.

In addition to the obvious extra strength, this cage provides easy access to motor and pinion/spur gears.

NEW Lunchbox/Midnight Pumpkin/Montero Aluminum Alloy Front and Rear Wheels - Wider Stance = more cornering stability.

NEW Tires are glued to Wheels.

These wheels are preferred over original plastic wheels that often break in a roll-over on pavement...I\'ve never broken or bent an alloy wheel !

The motor has more than enough Torque and Power to handle the over-sized tires!

NEW Coil-Over, Oil-Filled, Adjustable Pre-Load, Piggy-Back shocks - (Front)
Custom Skid Plate/Wheelie Bar prevents Blow-overs on pavement under full throttle from dead stop...I run these on ALL my runners (EACH is EASILY REMOVABLE - Wheelie Bar notveryuseful for off-road use).

Custom antenna tube protects and elevates antenna for better reception.
Extremely Strong, Flexible, Elastic & Durable NylonBumpers Front (3/8\") Rear (7/16\") These are SUSPENSION & AXEL SAVERS especially when running in a curbed paved parking lot !
