|  Mini moon buggy
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. |
