Mini moon buggy

5 Attachment(s)

Have you ever built an entire rig based on just a set of tires???

My plan is to roll with the Pro Line mini BFG 1.9 , 3.85"
Krawlers

This will be a short build thread but wanted to share

It slightly resembles the old Scrapper buggy from early full size W.E. Rock days.
Started with some 3/16 stainless .030 tube and started bending and Tig welding and came up with a mini rock buggy chassis. Chassis is about 10" long and 4 1/2" wide

Fabbed up a little steering wheel too.

Re: Mini moon buggy

That’s already badass. What are you thinking for axles and transmission?

Re: Mini moon buggy

Nice work, the chassis reminds me of comp tubers from way back in the day.
