Pix of Rough rider buggy restored. When i originally built it, i used the oillite bronse bushings that came in the kit back then, as the ball bearings were so expensive for these. When i did the rebuild, i split the gearcase, and replaced all of them with the ball bearing races. The rough rider did not have an open rear with spiders. It was a locker, so rooster tail burnouts on dirt are always fun. I have not decaled the body yet. It came pre painted gold. I need to scuff n shoot it orange to put the Ron Mitchell Racing livery on it, and even though its got torsion bar rear suspension holding the *** end up, i still need a set of rear shocks for it. The originals got cannibalized years ago for other projects. Like all projects i have its never quite finished. I did update and get rid of the servo operated wiper arm speed controller it used to have, and bought Tamiyas new solid state speed controller box. Super tiny. Saves a lot of space.
