Let me contribute with some pictures this time also...
My vorza currently:

Truggy tires: http://i40.tinypic.com/11w830x.jpg
Buggy tires: http://i42.tinypic.com/2ljkiet.jpg
Shot from above: http://i44.tinypic.com/33a5blx.jpg

Still really satisfied with the truggy arms on it, so much more stable and easyer to control. Makes the car more versatile and allround
More updates to come
Untill next time guys

PS: Still have to add some decals perhaps, just finished that body recently!
PS2: I see my images havent been resized thought that went automatic.. sorry if this bugs anyone let me know!

Hi Peloche thank you Its a proline D8 bulldog body.. its normally for the nitro car but it fits really well, as good as the standard body.
Yes ive painted it myself it was really easy using a small tamiya lexan paint can easily enough to finish the body, window masks came included.

And the arms are of the D8T, just as the turnbuckeles, front and rear axles, and towers..

So your buggy is more D8 than Vorza now

To be honest with you, I ordered one from the site, and it got to me within a few days of ordering it. I think maybe like 4 business days. I ordered it on a Satuday and they shipped it out that following Tuesday. They are a good business to buy from and can't complain one bit about them. They are always out of stock because it's a high demand item. I would check ebay for one.

Here are a few pics of my Vorza with a Pro-line Bulldog body for D8 mounted and finished. Also a couple of pics of how i got the body to fit better than factory body. Basically just turn your ESC clockwise 90 degrees and tighten screws. The ESC has 4 mounting holes on the bottom so it can be mounted facing any direction. Then you have to loosen your motor clamps and turn your motor. NOTE: To get the best fit rotated the motor towards the ESC as shown in pics. If you rotate it out the body will still rub. Also you will have to shave a little off the body around were the steering linkage is. You will see when you turn all the way in either direction.
