Personally I LOVE mine and could'nt ask for a better buggy!!!!! Heres a few pics of mine after I drilled a few dirt jumps!!!

I like the wheels.

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

Thx...... they're the ofna wheels with badland tires!!!! Right now I'm running the sure fire .32 in it, JUST until I get my LRP Z.28R Spec 3 back!!!! The Spec 3 with a 18t clutchbell is........ WOW.... lol..... Your Sig. says you have a Savage, I ran the .32 in it for a while and it's pretty impressive! It would wheelie in 2nd gear!

Yeah, with the STS, my savage will wheelie on command. It is hard on back tires though, tears the little pins right off.

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

Yea I've heard the sts is a real strong motor, I haven't got to run one yet though, I think it might be the same as the sh.28 or lrp spec 1 or 2.... Heres some pics of my buggy with custom slicks

sweet buggy

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

thx man!!! I think it's an awesome buggy, I just can't figure out why noone has one?????? It handles awesome and it's tough as nails, 20ft. backflips or wot into curbs is nothing for this buggy, *knock on wood* I havent broken a part yet and I havent been nice to it all :P

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

Welp I gave the buggy all i could give it 2day and it came back BEGGING 4 more..... I landed one jump the length of my house, ufortunately I did'nt get video, it's a 2 sided ramp and I did get some footage jumping steeper side!!! I'll get it posted soon!!!

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

I've had mine for 2 years, it's an excellent buggy, can take lots of bashing with virtually no damage. parts are cheap too.

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

that is a lot of electrical tape you have got there.

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

yeah, that's to keep the failsafe in place...

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

Have you done any experience with diff. springs and shock oil??? I get jittery everytime I land that thing from 20ft. it thumps SOOO loud... I think I'm gonna try 80wt. shock oil with sportswerks extra firm springs.... think 80wt. is to high??? I wanna try to keep the chassis from hittin so hard!

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

Regarding the shocks, the only thing I have done is to put several of the extra black spacers above the springs, about 1.5cm in total. This raises the suspension and makes it easier to drive through grass, and I guess may improve your landings.
The white pro shock springs are cheap and they are stiffer, so may be a good buy for you....

I went with the sportswerks extra hard springs and 80wt. oil...... might be to thick of oil hehe!!!

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to get my RR back up and running. I'm trying to find a new carb for the rtr engine. It's not holding a tune at all. I can't find the rtr carb anywhere. Was thinking any big block carb works? If so I'll grab an HPI Savage carb or a OS carb. Also looking at Blue Bird servos to upgrade. Took my hitecs out and put them in my savage.

RE: Official Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Buggy Thread
 

the bluebirds are crap , don`t take my word only , but they are not worth the money IMO .
