Eb bronco buggy

[heavychevy]

So I started this eb bronco buggy cage last summer as a bolt on to the 10.2 chassis. I took it apart and went with a modified Cherokee body and it's been sitting ever since. So I decided I'm going to put it back together but with all new parts and finish up the fab work and interior. I don't have a lot of pics at the moment but will be uploading some more. Chassis will be dark red with gunmetal grey panels.

Electronics:
2300 roc412
Mamba microX
Unknown tx right now
Unknown servo right now

Axles are boom racing scale phat axle
Cheap 1.9 wheels
Ssd scale trans and t case with motor up front

Nothing too special but it will have a full interior

Nice start. The cage work looks nice.

Thank you! On the chassis I used Harley Designs' scout 800 woods runner templates. Made the bronco panels work with it. Still more cage work to go.

sweet! With a full interior, are you putting the tranny under the hood?

Anyone know of a vender for 540 3d printed motors that's not $95 a piece?

That is a sweet looking tranny! Will certainly give a great feel for the bronco. I have never heard of a thing such as a 3d printed motor. Do you mean a motor mount?

Like this. Goes over a forward mounted motor to look like a motor in the bay

Oooh! (facepalm) I forgot that some people call engines motors. Now I know what you're after. If there is a place near you that prints for free, you could find files on the interwebs and take it to them. My local library has a few printers, although I have never used them.

Yeah engine haha I might see what I can find on shapeways. Surely someone has a kit on there

Shapeways will be pricey also. Kinda hard to get around the cost of large 3D printed parts

Ahhh damn lol well maybe I'll just make it from styrene or something. If I have to jam the battery in the engine bay I may just let the motor idea go. It's going to be tight in there.

Started on the dash. Going to be a simple flat panel dash. Top of it isn't on in the pic. But my rx and winch controller and possibly esc will be housed in the dash and center console. Dash will have a section flowing down to the console between the seats so the esc may go there. We will see! Need the transmission setup to get here before I can start finalizing floor pan and console designs

Thank you! Back ones I formed from sheet metal. They were a pita to get the perfect bends haha

Good choice. I run the mmp with a hh puller pro bl 2200 sensored. It is a beast for torque and has a nice top end.

Nice! I had an mmp and a 3300 pro 4 but the mmp was used and real glitchy so I sold the motor and tossed the esc to the side. Now I'll have all new electronics so I should be good to go. Decided on the 2300 bc I don't need a dragster haha

Got a little more done today. Transmission is paid for
Steering column is glued to the dash. Made an esc mount behind the dash. And sleeved the lower front links. Gotta order tires soon also. Once trans is here I can really get rolling on it and figure out the panhard bar. Thinking about using the center console setup instead if building one. May add a little bit to it but we'll see when the trans gets here
