[Colby]

Yep! I am building this for a good buddy of mine. Ive loved these rigs from JIA's, to TURTLES, to Mcfig's and others I have seen. Heres my start:

As you can see, I just drew the demensions I wanted, did a little geometry work and went to bending some tube. Its going to take some work to get it right, this is my first full tube frame, so please be nice More later

I know the front shock mounts look a little different, but where the shocks are going to mount is level, and its actually in line. My buddy didnt feel like making it perfect so its going to stay. Taking it to the sand blaster tomorrow.

Plans:
solid steel skid
rear panhard bar
RC4wd alu. shocks
rc4wd ARB edition Trex 60's
mayhem wheels w/ roklox
custom links
and a pretty quick power system

Got some more done today

I just sit down and work. This tube bends awesome in a vice and ive just gotten lucky with it rolling along smooth. Wire welding also is very quick, i should have slowed down and did alot more touch up before moving on. Thanks!
