|  Szczerba's Comp Buggy
Found a chassis on eBay caught my eye. I knew I wanted it slammed and short wheelbase. And would probably only be keeping the top part of it. This is how I got it. Only a face a father could love.  Of course it was broke when I got it. Brake line and shotty steel sorta brazed together.  Fixed that and then redid the skid. Thought that was cool but links way to shortie. Time to rethink it.

| Szczerba's 1.9 Comp Buggy
Grabbed an scx frame and skid, mocked up the wheelbase in my old trusty jig I designed a few years ago and started hacking up the chassis. Trying to keep this truck Class 2 legal but I dunno if it will qualify as a "stock truck modified" or not. 10.75" wb 2.2 CI 6-Bolt wheels on 1.9 treps. Probably need to move to 2.2 section. Came up with this. Frame is cut, sectioned, re aligned, clearanced and ready to roll almost laying frame on the axle housings.    Bumped  Drooped  Last edited by Szczerba; 08-25-2015 at 11:07 PM. |

Was the original chassis worth saving?

Meh...  Search #szczerbabuilt on Instagram to see the CMS action tuning. And all my other builds. A keen eye would take note of the passenger front shock hook re working and 100mm RC4WD scale shocks installed. The ring gears on the opposite of stock scx axles. Chubs and lockouts were a wicked tight fit. Minor dremeling of housing ends was needed. No biggie 3-link upper mount is about 3-5mm further back than VP mount. Had to shorten the upper. No biggie.       Last edited by Szczerba; 08-27-2015 at 09:25 PM. | ||

My set of those are on the way, I hemmed and hawed if I needed them and missed the first group from RPP. They look really good. Interested in this one, that is a funky cab, but you have yet to disappoint.. |

Good so far. Quote:
You made the right call, you needed 'em. After a few hours, chassis is done and being painted.  | ||
