| Colby's building a Campbell buggy?
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: campbell buggy by colby419, on Flickr 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 |

Heres some more progress. This build is for a buddy of mine, and the things he is about to buy pics: campbell day 2.. by colby419, on Flickr campbell day 2. by colby419, on Flickr campbell day 2 by colby419, on Flickr 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 |

| Thanks! Its definetly fun. We arent copying shannon's rigs scheme, just the design. 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! |
