58184 Fighter Buggy RX rebuild

Recommended Posts

I have just picked up an old Fighter Buggy RX (Correct me if I am wrong!) from a boot sale. Not bad for £3 including an Ansmann quick charger and 2 batteries! I'm going to restore this one as a runner for my 8 year old - should be a good buggy to start with. It has electrics and it all appears to work ok. The main issues it has are a broken rear shock mount and the rear tyres are completely shot.

Love all the vehicles based off this chassis. If you search Mad Bull or DT01 on the forum you will have tons of results that will help you in your rebuild and with any modifications you might want to do. From memory, I did the heat shrink mod to the front wishbones to reduce play, the servo link was changed from the bent wire to a proper adjustable link, full bearings, oil shocks and steel pinion. After that it ran great and was nigh on indestructible.

It is a great choice for a first vehicle and £3!! That is a steal. Look forward to seeing this one progress.
