(In Spanish, here: http://reparar-cochesrc.blogspot.com...de-piezas.html)

I had many spare parts from Kyosho Raider and I thought I could build a new buggy:




... I needed many essential parts (shocks, bearings, shafts, suspension and steering arms,..)






I started by checking and lubricating the transmission:






"homemade " Suspension arms in aluminium






The shafts were obtained from a DVD-CD rom:





the chassis diagram:



Building the chassis with a polyethylene-aluminum composite sheet:





Building the front shock absorbers with aluminum tubes:






Building the steering arms with two long screws:



I have put ball bearings and a 380 motor to test the transmission:



Now, I start to assemble the parts of the transmission and steering in the chassis:



Servo and steering are assembled and adjusted:




It starts to look like a car...








The first test with a 540 motor, receiver, ESC and battery:






Building a custom bumper. The curve is obtained with heat from a soldering iron




Bumpers and body supports are already in place:





Receiver and ESC has been mounted with Velcro:




The lexan body is obtained from a toy-grade car:







It's done !!!!








the bumper is behind the body
