Fitting

If you think we just ordered a Bug Eye Baja Kit and put it on, you are wrong! The available kits are from a horrible quality and the rear body part is completely different to the one on the Tamiya Sand Scorcher. What should we do? Locate original 70s kits on the internet.

On the pictures you can see the today available nose cone, but we deceided to use a 40 year old part from a vintage Baja kit. Same goes for the rear deck. We will also modify the shape of the wings, to be as close to the original car as possible. The front Baja bumper will be build from scratch, because the bought one doesn't match the one from the scale car.

We also decided to use a body lift to allow the planned rear tires enough space to rotate. A body lift is a steel frame, bolted inbetween the body and the chassis. That will be different to the Box Art, but it's the only way to tuck the Padla Trak hoops under the rear wings.
