Holiday buggy

[hotwheels000]

Had some more time to work on this rig.




I added some of the decals



Finished front bumper and winch mount


Rear bumper and 3D engine






Quarter eliptical leafs front and rear made from delrin

Good job on the leafs Devlin, this is probably the weight truck those delrin ones are made for. So is this going to be your C1 rig for this year? Seems like it fits all the rules. Not your typical dd, but I wouldn't expect anything less from you !

Yep, C1 rig for sure.....Doesnt everybody drive a Manx towd or FastAttack vehicle ?

I built those leafs about 3 years ago,had a hundred or so made and intended on selling them.Problem was, if not set up properly with pan hards, torque rods and a spacer to disperse the load in the perch/bolt area they would break.I didnt want to deal with the headaches that would follow from the customers who didnt set them up correctly...so I have slowly given most of them away and kept a few for myself.

You cant beat the delrin for flex and twist.And you dont end up with a loaded spring under compresion to fling your truck off the trail when she un-loads.


Time to go add more "scaleness" to the rig

Ba-da-bump! Any updates on this Devlin? I know you're working on it !

What sort of height are you getting with those tires stretched over the 1.9 wheels?

Before,actually after I ripped everything out and piled it in the middle of the room.It was a 9x9x4 pile o chit



After cabinets were installed and everything reorganized



Everything has a place now.I used 40 storage containers to make it all fit nicely in the cabinets





What sort of height are you getting with those tires stretched over the 1.9 wheels? they thdidnt get much taller if any at all,sidehill real nice though

They have been in use for over a year with the mongoose and I have had zero issues, thats running it on 3 cell.They used to be under the thing.Both rigs are well under 5lbs,so I am sure that helps

Now that's what I call a hobby room, killer!!
