Default RE: 1/10 Buggy Compatible Parts

Alright well with this one I got a little creative but I did end up saving myself a few bucks. I accidentally forgot my body pins at the local track and I didn't feel like going back because by the time I realized they were missing it wasn't worth going back. I was checking out how much replacements were and they run about 5 bucks for a bag of them. Well being the cheap guy that I am[sm=greedy.gif], I decided to take a trip to good old Wal-mart and tried looking for something else that may work. Well what I ended up finding were some cotter pins that cost all of 80 something cents. With a couple well placed bends these things worked perfectly. Here are some pictures so you all can marvel at my engineering prowess. [sm=pirate.gif]

In the first one you can see what the original pin looked like, the modified cotter pin, and the original cotter pin. I'm quite proud.
