Default 1/24 Micro belt drive buggy

It's more of a teaser, but shaping up well already. My latest project. Got started building it this morning, I like to think of it as a micro Yokomo MR4-BX (one of my favourite buggies). I've taken an X-Power 1:24 IDT, sent the alloy off to be anodised (some bits couldn't be done), and then started grafting across Kyosho mini-z buggy suspension and cvd's. Had to cut the front off the chassis too. The quality is incredible for the size of it, it really is tiny ! Please have a look at the progress pics, comments welcome. Cheers !

Default Updates !

Finally had some time (and a missing part or 2) to do some updates on this little buggy, here she is so far. Some spilled superglue (!) added some time to clear up and remove. Nest things to do are shock towers that fit, and some sort of steering bellcrank. Thanks for looking. Sorry for the poor quality phone photos.

thanks Mr.Ed, yeah I wasn't sure if it was possible either, but thought I'd give it a shot. For the electrics, I'll be using a micro servo, perhaps the receiver in the pics, a micro esc and probably a losi micro t lipo to keep size down. Will be difficult to fit it all under a bodyshell !
