Coops Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Think they are PVC ?? Dropped the shell as low as it will go, conscious that I don't want any grime to get up underneath the shell. Scratched it already when doing a test run last night - flipped it doing a wheelie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coops Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Shell painted up. Took some inspiration from AJ's 8IGHT splat scheme but 4 colours. Kids idea, they helped with a straw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coops Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Shell is getting well and truly battered now the kids have it for bashing. It's been rolled so many times I've lost count! Aside from trying to get another LC Racing one, does anyone know which shells could fit? The last LC Racing one cost me £25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamtec have one, though I'm a bit wary myself after the sct one I just had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat bodies do an escort - that might look nice? No worries. Lad likes the Monster Truck look, but does look a good body. Might do the Mini for my buggy. Also fancy trying a Bowler on the SCT chassis. Think I'd need to trim a couple of cm off an arch to make it work. Perhaps i should convert the MT to SCT?

I'll mock one up tonight if coops is interested and I can find my kaboom shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I take it the buggy has a slightly longer wheelbase than the MT? These LC's have always been of interest to me, I'll probably get one at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These LC's have always been of interest to me, I'll probably get one at some point. The Buggy and Monster Truck are the same wheelbase - just different wheels and body mounts. My lads MT is a converted buggy. The SCT has a longer wheelbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coops Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The buggy is 185mm wheelbase The SCT is 225mm wheelbase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafty Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 It's on the MT. But it's the same as buggy bare mounting posts. You need a single rear post exactly where the buggy rear is mounted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Can't find my kaboom but looks like Deafty has already done it so all is good. I'll have another look tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I can take snap tommorrow. But be warned this mt has been seriously thrashed by my 9yr old nephew I can't wait to finally move in to our new house and give these beauties some much needed care and attention that they deserve.

Deafty Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Ok some very rough pics Obviously I must have used a long body post on the rear. I cant't remeber completley but i think I tapped a thread into a spare MT post or something like that. This thing really needs attention Edited May 18, 2017 by Deafty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coops Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Top man @Deafty I see the shell stops short of the rear shock tower - that should be easy to do. Front mounts are already in place. Any chance I could have one more pic showing the entire car, just to see how it sits / looks with the shell on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can get 1 tomorrow as its at my other house 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
