|  Weeeee Rock buggy
My pal Ammon had this chassis, i think it will be perfect fOr a 1.9 rock buggy. I'm uncertain of the OG builder but it's not too shabby. It will need a little work but Im ok with that, I LOVE DOING TOOOB WORK. This will be a quick build and ready to drive very soon... I hope!! Full tooooob chassis Custom dp built RC4WD D44 centers 3 link F/R Axial drivetrain with VP Hurtz dig On board winch RSD shocks Shaved 1.9 Compass tires Modified Axial beadlocks with LURC rings What do we have here??? any ideas? It is a axles truss, 3 link, panhard, shock and lower link combo i brazed up the other day... MOUNTED JUST GOTTA POP A FEW HOLES IN THE DELRIN TOOOBS. I ended up using genuine AXIAL c-channel frame for the lower link mount because when i notched it, it fit the tooob plate perfect. NICE AND SHAVED!!!! I LOVE LURC RINGS!!! COOL LITTLE CHASSIS DESIGNED AROUND A SCX10 SKID. ill be sandblasting the chassis as well as adding some internal braces for winch/interior. Will also replace the 6/32 hardware with alum screws. MORE SOON!!!! |

Thanx there I was excited to use the D44s but I think I'm going back to some well built SCX axles. I think they will take the abuse better from dig. | |

Decided against the d44 axles with their small bearing retainers im just not confident using them with dig. Using the ol trusty built scx axles. Built a ridiculously ugly panhard 3 link axle mount Bulletproof trans with a v1 VP dig XR front axle width and standard rear CHASSIS AND AXLE PANHARD MOUNTS 3LINK MOUNT FOR CHASSIS AND AXLE |

I love the direction this build is heading. Keep up the good work, what’s your plan with the servo position? I’m slowly collecting parts for a WErock buggy myself. |

It is a axles truss, 3 link, panhard, shock and lower link combo i brazed up the other day... Love your build, I have a question. I made a custom axle and I don't have a top link mount and I need to do something like what you did and braze one. What kind of brazing stuff you use? I'm new at this kind of stuff but excited to build realistic rigs. Be the way, how is your mount mounted on? I didn't see any screws bolting it on so that's why I asked. Keep up the good work |

Nice build! Do you have any idea what it weighs currently? I saw that you listed these axles for sale. What's next? |

Making some minor changes to the chassis and axles Will be installing some SSD diamond pros As far as the chassis I cut the rear bracing out to give it more of a truck look, added double shear rear shock tabs, New front shock towers, taller rear upper link mount plates. |
