Boosteds Ridiculux redeux I struck a deal with an Oregonian buddy of mine and landed this: The Ridiculux. He received it like so: http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...psowbuoakw.jpg http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...psvnvb3i6a.jpg He added a couple down tubes, a light bar, relocated the spare and after crushing the a pillars he built the interior cage for it. This is how I received it. http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...psvmvmvpoa.jpg It was built to meet the bare minimum requirements for class 2. The body has been narrowed .75", boat sides, also meets the width requirements. She's low slung and narrow but still incredibly stable. And already has a couple podiums under it. The most recent was 2nd in the Mary s. Young g6 in Oregon. I tore in today and completely disassembled it, I will be adding a few things to the chassis, and switching a few things out. I have a decent sized shopping list for this one. Plans are to have it done and ready for the KOH g6. Updates to follow as soon. Still bouncing around paint ideas..:???: Any decents ideas? I'm almost just ready to call it good with white body and black tube work |
Re: Boosteds Ridiculux redeux Looks like a great start, as far as paint, it would look sik with black chassis and silver body with flat blk yota stripes...my.02 Lookin good bud"thumbsup" |
Re: Boosteds Ridiculux redeux Thanks Ryan I was at the paint section today with gunmetal, and I couldn't make a decision. I just laid down some white primer as a base and hit the chassis with flat black for the time being. I'm gonna throw it together and see which direction to go from there. I need to make sure I have any and all brackets done I hate having to strip a rig to weld on a bracket or two. So this will probably go through 1 or 2 mock up stages before final paint. I'm considering dig and possibly rear steer for g6 events. I know these aren't allowable in class 2 but I need to see if its possible to run if these functions are locked out for scale events whether it's in hooking from the receiver or actually disconnecting the linkage |

Wow awesome looking rig Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk |
Re: Boosteds Ridiculux redeux Definitely liking the changes. Paint is always a tricky choice. I debate it for days and then usually get impatient and start painting with whatever I grab. |

Re: Boosteds Ridiculux redeux White, meh. http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...psqxhogq2t.jpg Found a can of plum crazy purple from and old dodge dart model I'm making to replicate my 1:1 Purple it is. Prob go gloss black on the tube work, maybe silver. http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...pse0gbgt7c.jpg http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...psy0nmotse.jpg |
Re: Boosteds Ridiculux redeux I know I'm a little biased, but this might be in if the better paint jobs I have done on a hard body. No orange peel, nice deep color. I'm diggin it. Just wish the color popped in the pics as much as it does in person. http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...pscg5mj4w7.jpg http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...psyyzyoudt.jpg http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/y...psto3buyo9.jpg |
Re: Boosteds Ridiculux redeux Looks bitchin. Can't beat flat black either in my opinion, purple looks sweet. |

Re: Boosteds Ridiculux redeux Very nice, not a purple fan but plum crazy is a baddass choice, looking good bud |
