    no... i cant because you didnt list what buggy it was, do you know which model it is?:)

    Do yu mean the big 1/6 scale petrol model, if so there temporerly unavalible.
    It only comes unpainted and you have to buy the stickers seperate. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJJ06&P=7

    I expect if you went to a decent size hobby shop with the buggy chassis - and tried out a few - you would probably find that the body shells from other buggies of 1:8 would be a reasonable fit.

    Assuming you are only looking for a new body shell of course.

    I think he is mistaken, its actually a 1/10 model. Coolwings you probebly have bodys to fit it:confused:

    Based in Kildare ....
    Call & ask these:
    The Model Centre, Capel Street, Dublin
    www.greenhobbymodel.com on the southside of Dublin at Sundrive
    Possibly the Outdoor Hobbies in Leixlip still has car parts, (doesn't do car any more I think).

    This is the best I could find. http://www.buytraxxas.com/advanced_search_result.php?car_models=&keywords=nitro+buggy


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 67 ✭✭vixen2005


    have e mailed and rang traxxas it self no body available :(
    also has any one ever raced the cars on the curragh????
    only a thought i think the whole rc thing needs a club in general in ireland and a public track instead of car parks!
    or have i missed a web site in my trails???


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,324 ✭✭✭tallus


    I usually bash my cars around in a field at the end of the street I live on :D

    I think there is 1 or 2 rc car clubs in Ireland but there only on road. I would love to see a club for off road buggys and trucks, there are alot of places to drive them but it gets boring after a while:( People on boards tryed setting up off road tracks but I think it was partly dreaming:D
