|  Project "Damien" Chevy truggy
My tax return project  After seeing this Nao/dave pack built f-350 Truggy from Joe (scooter racing) that 1BadJeepBruiser owns along time ago, I always wanted to build a truggy. This is one of the best truggy's I have ever seen on RCC before. Just a few pics The problem was, Im not a huge Ford fan. I have always had Chevys and love Chevys no matter what. Then I saw 2 more recent builds that inspired me to build a truggy again. 1st one is the one that exesivefire is building right now. 1.9 Silverado truggy.. 2nd one is the one that TwistedXT is working on as well. 1.9 Dale Ernheardt Black Silverado SS Truggy I want to give these guys props for building some awesome rigs, and by all means, I do not want to copy what they are doing. I have been researching for months now on pirate4x4.com, rccrawler.com, and google to find the perfect truggy that fits me and that is different than everyone elses. I have plans for this rig to make it different with subtle details to replicate a few 1:1 truggies that I have found. Thanks guys for inspiring me to build a truggy, and any comments, suggestions, or ideas are much appreciated. Meet Damien the Demon Truggy  Parts list - 1 Hacked SS Silverado from spiderxx 5 RC4WD 1.9 Rock Crushers from www.RC4wd.com 5 HPI Black 1.9 rims from www.RPPHobby.com RC4WD R2 tranny from www.RC4wd.com TLT Axles and plenty more good stuff to come from the CNC machine..... Body off the chassis  And the bed chopped off  Stay tuned for more too come. Going to go and pick up some more tubing today after work and start on building the cage for it. ~Demon Last edited by Lankenstein; 02-28-2008 at 08:07 PM. |

Got some more work done today. Ya, the welds are dirty but I got to get a file and some sand paper and clean up the joints, then it will look alot better. Tomorrow and some more tubing, but getting closer.   Last edited by Lankenstein; 02-28-2008 at 08:08 PM. |
