August 21, 20231 yr Author I made some changes by making the instructions - you find quite a lot of mistakes when you create the instructions, and made some test renders too, for more clear images. Now, I also recreated some building steps of the original RC kit, such as uniting the bottom chassis with the roll-cage (I tried to match the colors, as you can see - the roll-cage is grey and the bottom frame is black); moreover, you can study the structure without many other things, except the buggy motor and its frame, because the front chassis is installed at the end.

January 1, 20241 yr Author When I started to build the BBX, I encountered huge problems with the rear suspension arms. So I kind of canceled it. But the idea was too great to let it just be an unfinished concept. So today I returned at the 2nd model file I made, which had 2 motors and an updated rear swing-arms, but visually it was a mess and I think that didn`t work as well. In any case, as a 3rd attempt I integrated the 2x buggy motors in the chassis and tried to create robust wheel-hubs frames. Also, I put 6.5L shock absorbers at the back too for a more affordable model, but I had to figure a way to ”fill” the gap made by the smaller shocks. For this, I made some fake shock absorbers. I really hope that this rear arms will also work properly and also look better in reality. Also, here is the link for the older renders and screenshots: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Lixander_A./bb-01-buggy-wip/archive Edited January 1, 20241 yr by Lixander
January 1, 20241 yr that looks awesome. if you build it for real, will you use metal U joints? and where does the buwizz unit go?

Well, I want to use metal joints, but I usually connect the wheel-hubs directly. In other words, they will be useful but everytime I replenish my parts my mind skipps the metal joints. The battery hubs should go in the back or in the middle of the chassis, I still didn`t figured where I should put them. Edited January 1, 20241 yr by Lixander
