| description | Previously, I showcased Pro-Line's new 'tuber' body for the AX-10, which I thought would look good on a Tamiya buggy chassis. I just happened to have a DT-02 lying around and, after cutting the side-tubs off the chassis and trimming the shock mounts, was able to mount the Pro-Line body. I have yet to add any lights, body panels or a driver, but at least it is now a runner. I'll keep you posted as I add details. And no, the battery cannot easily be removed.

Straight in my favourites. I love it ! Can't wait to see the finished thing.
Totally cool! I love it!
I like it!
Thanks for all the comments and encouragement. I'll probably add some body panels, paint, decals, etc., after working out the cockpit situation. I think this 'body' would work well on a Grasshopper or related chassis, and could definitiely be incorpirated into a Buggy Champ or Kyosho Scorpion. It could also be cut and narrowed to make a single-seat buggy with many possibilities. I tried to keep this car's CG low, but a real CORR buggy would be a lot taller, which would be easier to accomplish than what I did here with the DT-02.
How cool is this thing! nice work. Really makes me want to use one on my Buggy champ or somthing.
looks like a good project , I like the look of that frame , it has many possibilities
Looks good so far .
Looks very 'Mad Max' at the moment but very cool
I like your idea better, looks like a cool sand buggy, perhaps some BIG sand paddle tires on the back??
This is REALLY cool! Great idea and implementation.
Oh yes, this is looking awesome. Prepare for A LOT of people to copy this - I will be for sure
looks really good,kinda like a fav.
That looks pretty cool!
That is surprisingly good, like it!
Looks cool, kind of like a wild one. If you modify the motor mount plate you can fit a 15T to stop those large tyres overheating your motor. Will you be doing anything else like paint, etc?
