it uses SC10 wheels up front, and Slash style wheels on the rear. I went ahead and bought JConcepts wheels since you can get a matching set as far as looks with the different type of wheel. Love the fact can use a hex instead of a pin.

Mounted up the body last night as well as glued up the tires. Now just need to paint!

Welp, turns out I'm going another direction, and won't be getting a buggy now.

But I appreciate you guys answering my questions.

Hey, no problem. We also have a 1/10 2wd truck, 1/10 4wd buggy, 1/8 electric buggy/truggy, and 1/16 buggy/truggy if your path is going in any of those directions.

Good Luck, welcome back to racing, and take care man.

when I first had my buggy I sheared both rear axles.Got to reading the very begining of this thread.I guess there was an issue with some of the first runs.Guys were even changing over to RB5 axles and driveshafts.I got to looking at the broken ones and the replacementsThey were slightly different.Maybe you had some old ones.

By the way.Its good to see you here so often Josh! Glad racing is good for you in Florida.

thanks for the info. Maybe have been that and a combination of weather and track conditions as it was cold and big 1/8 jumps. i think I could have done much better in the main, but was chasing electronics issues on my SCT.

you are probably right Joel. Cain may have one of the earlier runs. I have been running the same axles on my buggy for 2 full indoor and outdoor seasons and no issues whatsoever. The cold weather and big jumps on hard clay also a factor I am sure. So Joel, how is Cbus these days? I am definitely loving racing down here, outdoor all year on red clay...most of the tracks become blue groove, it is awesome!

I actually think I have a set of RB5 axles here and driveshafts. Need to see what they look like, they are different thats for sure.
