eran_k Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) i just got a resin 3d printer, I selected this kit to be my first build to include 3d parts, some of them will be my own and some from different sources. so i guess this will be a long build as i will be printing parts and trial fit them. Most of the printed parts will be for the buggy, this is where i'm at currently printed some parts and started modifying the buggy for them: exhaust Engine with transaxle front suspension, pedal box Carburetor with manifold, air fllters Rear shocks, lights Edited February 23 by eran_k 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoMoCo66 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 This is going to be a cool project. I,ve always thought the buggy was cool looking but left some detail to be desired. I thought it would be cool to put a v8 in this or put a tamiya bug body on it with a v8 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eran_k Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 i didn't like how the paint came out (i think its caused i used black primer) so i improvised and sprayed it with orange rattle can i had at home. also a little better image of the motor, with the carb and filters attached 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
