Unlike most of my cars, this one doesn't really have a story so the blabber will be limited :)
Like many, I got excited when the Terra Scorcher got re-released last year and I bought one for my birthday in June. I spent the Summer and part of Autumn thinking about a colour scheme, then finally started the build in December and finished it in January, just over two months ago.
The car is mostly stock, but does have the following hop-ups:
-15t steel pinion
-aluminum A5 part
-suspension steel shafts + C clips in place of screw pins
-17.5 brushless motor
Also, I went for a harder damper oil both on the front and the back shocks, I like how it feels so far but to be fair since completing the build I've only driven the car on snow and ice.
I'm really happy with how it handles and how it performs, and soon I'll have to decide whether to keep driving it on dirt in the good season or to save it for the Winter and keep it exclusively as a Snow Scorcher. The snow allowed me to enjoy the buggy in action while keeping it pristine and scratchless which is great, counting how much time and effort I put on its looks. I'm not sure I'll be able to leave it on the shelf for the whole of the good season, though. Well, these are good problems to have :)
Here's the latest fluorescent addition to my fleet.

You have a gift for improving on box art for your cars, it’s admirable!

I'm no fan of those space design like buggy's but this is another one that looks so good in its eighties fluo livery I can imagine actually owning one of these. Great job!

Great buggy, even made better with the addition of the snow, looks like those two were made for eachother? lol

Excellent job, you do have a knack of turning average box art designs into something quite magnificent. Its good to see the driver has a full face balaclava on as it must be a bit chilly out
