nice buggy ! Is that a Jammin ?
No, it orginally started out as a RTR Ofna LX-1 that i purchased off craigslist and over time i' ve upgraded to various carbon fiber, cnc aluminum and LX-2 parts. I upgraded the radio system to a Spektrum DX3e and HS-645MG throttle and steering servos with aluminum servo horns. It now has the LX-2 chassis, stone guards, fuel tank, radio box, rear chassis brace, center diff mounts with fiberglass brake disks and body shell. Also, the front bumper and rear mud guards are meant for the Ofna Buggy8 and i fabbed those a little to fit. The parts left from the original LX-1 are the wing, wing stay, front, center and rear differential assemblies and suspension, LX-1 servo tray with the LX-2 servo tray posts. I still want to get the 16MM shocks that you see on all the Jammin Truggies and Buggies.

BTW, to everybody that views this thread, I posted this thread to try and get other members to post pics of there models.

Anyway duratrax 835b. All stock except for throttle servo, wheels and tires.

Looks good man, i like it!  I got some track time in today for the first time in 3 years.  I just finished my buggy and was pretty rough on it today, but it held together and came home in one piece.  Lol!

Thanks. Looks like you had a great time and I agree not bad for being away from the track for awhile. That is a nice looking track btw and bet with a little water you would have had much better traction.

Oh yeah, this Oklahoma red dirt grips like crazy when it's wet enough to make it tacky. The club raced yesterday evening and the track was really dry slick, especially in the corners.

Nice buggy's! I like the look of that Werks B6 .21 comp motor and have researched the specs on it. I think that will be the motor i choose when it comes time to put a new one in my buggy, it has a force .28 in it rightnow and it runs like a champ with a lot of grunt off the bottom end, almost too much. Lol!

Thanks - it is a screamer for sure, running a 2013 and M2C four-shoe w/95 springs...and is smooth as silk on bottom!The top end is a little too fast....but a good problem to have ;-)My baby, however, is that 810. Something about it - it's one of a kind!

Also glad to see some good reviews on the 835B. I'm one of those who feels it's important to have solid mid-market RTR<u>NITROS</u> available like that. Not everyone can start with a Mugen or Kyosho....and may the Lord have mercy on your soul should you start with an Exceed Forza (I know of what I speak here). Ha! It seems like this 835B is gaining a little momentum. Has anyone started making aftermarkets for it?

xtreme racing offers some carbon fiber goodies that look nice and Duratrax is supposed to release some machined aluminum parts sometime this month. http://www.xtremercracing.com/835B.cfm

Xtremercracing is where i got my carbon fiber parts for my ofna. The quality and fit of the parts is nice, but i would recommend using paypal to pay for your orders vs sending a check. I sent a check and it took about 3 weeks for it to clear and get my parts in the mail.

Nice, i'm gna try and get some more laps in maybe tomorrow morning. I don't plan on racing again, but i have a local track close to my house and it's fun to run on vs bashing my hard work in a parking lot or on the neighborhood streets.

B12 Chemtool and an air compressor, lol!  Mostly use just the air compressor, but when i do use the B12 Chemtool i pull the motor, exhaust and entire radio system before spraying it down and avoid direct impact on exposed bearing racers.

Xtremercracing has them for your buggy as well, just don't end up on your lid as often. Lol!
