Mojave Big buggy body?

[chilly81]

I actually have a fire team, but same long chassis as the Mojave 6s and all you with stretched Kratons xls etc… And nobody reads the fire team threads Lol

I was thinking about putting on a buggy body. So that it’s within the shock towers as opposed to over them like a truck. It looks like if I could scale up my Typhon 3s body by about 33% it would fit perfectly. So wondering does anybody know of big buggies any brand? I don’t want fancy scale ones with expensive hard bodies just a lexan shell.

I think a limitless shell fits with a little mods.

@SrC would know more.

Hey that looks like a really good idea! I wish they sold the back half separately it’s a pretty expensive body. Definitely could be an option though Hopefully they have one in stock at my local store so I can see how it lines up.

Here’s the thread that @SrC did one : https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/1-6-typhon-from-my-take-off-parts-bin.32988/

This is not my idea btw.

I think it looks great! Thanks for the heads up.

Exceed has a 1/5 buggy that you may be able to make the body fit-

Also, there was a 1/7 scale Team Energy buggy, maybe look for the body to this one-

With both Exceed and Team Energy, you may need to do some digging to find who the OEM is, what the OEM model name is - this will give you more to search on. A lot of Exceed is made by Acme RC, but I am not sure about that Barca buggy.

I thought Exceed was rebranded BSD Racing.
Irrc that Barca is the same thing as the Redcat Dunerunner and I think this is the OEM http://www.hspracing.com/product_view.asp?id=997

Maybe so. They had a few of the same cars as HobbyKing (back when HK sold their own cars) and a lot of HK was AcmeRC, but not all of it.

Missed this thread previously, but here is a Mojave chassis rig with a buggy/crawler body. Looks pretty cool to me, not sure if it fits what you are looking for though:

I really do like that actually. Problem is the yeti bodies are almost as expensive as the fire team. I was hoping for one of those cheap lexan pro line type of bodies. Although a fire team body is $134 right now at Jennys which is pretty good considering it includes all the frame and the panels.
