I think it's that most hardtop IIa SWBs had a different colour roof to the body and the rear window sticker is too high up .

Lower links don't appear to be up to it 😄

Fresh from FB 58697 Astute 2022 (TD2 chassis) Description: Tamiya is proud to announce a new 1/10 R/C off-road buggy model based upon the brand new TD2 chassis. The newly designed stylish body is produced by Kota Nezu who penned that of the recently released Super Avante. About the model: • This is a 1/10 R/C assembly kit. Length: 387mm, width: 246mm. Wheelbase: 283mm. • The distinctive polycarbonate body is designed by Japanese designer Kota Nezu of znug design. • The new TD2 chassis based around the TD4 chassis employs an front inboard suspension layout which offers exceptionally slim, low-profile form. Also, its front suspension arms have a skid angle of 25 degrees for superlative ground-hugging and stable performance off-road, plus angled CVA oil dampers to allow smooth suspension movement. • The chassis based on the one-piece monocoque frame uses the same ball differentials as the ones of the TD4 chassis, plus full ball bearings, and features a transverse battery pack positioned to the rear and a midship transverse motor with 3 gears connecting it to the drivetrain for optimum balance and improved performance. • Ribbed front and rear square spike tires facilitate stability and great grip. The newly designed star dish design front wheels are attached by hex hubs. • The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system uses CVA oil dampers for superlative performance. • Choose between high and low type wing stays to adjust the downforce depending on the road surface. • Comes with a driver figure who gives your buggy a realistic look, and high-torque servo saver.

Nice lil' truck but looks like the mirrors won't last too long Early ships include motor and velcro upgrade apparently - skip to 1:38 for motor, 2:32 for velcro

Yup, 6mm tube with 4mm studding is a lot easier than trying to centre-drill delrin Get yourself one of these to cut tubing accurately Shouldn't cost more than a tenner at Amazon, or Screwfix do 'em cheap

A few concepts from 2007 😆

Ah, but the green transmitter kinda matches the new SCX6 the green version - BUY IT NOW!!! Hard to believe they released a video saying the radio they packaged with an £1100 truck was, essentially, nappy sludge but they have a solution... That has to be the biggest own-goal since the William Tell apple/crossbow TikTok suicide

Always needed a tactical flashlight but never had a transmitter to mount it to... ...until now 😆 Does it come with instructions for how to wear a baseball cap?

Hot on the heels of the Anti-Avante; View full news article

These popped up recently Files available to buy here; https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-prairie-wolf-overland-parts-set-186771

The rear wing is non-standard, it seems to come directly from a Japanese series, The Circuit Wolf Hopefully, the body won't be pre-drilled for the wing

The RC6 and E680 both appear to be variants of the 2013 Venom Pro 2 - I guess nothing's changed much lately 😶 I still use the Pro 1, but mainly back to NiMh now - seems to be the same innards, just without 240v in

Inner fenders, roof rack, light buckets etc are 3D printable options - you can buy the files here https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Knight_Customs/collection/element-rc-knightrunner For this lot, the files cost $30 - IIRC, Carisma did similar on their Zombie truck, but gave the files away FOC?

Cracking looking buggy until you get round to the battery wires 😶
