|  Bangin Bible Holla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I wanted something new to play with. Funds have been low around the house so I had to use what I had laying around the house and Kamikaze's house  Jeff had the body so that was a good starting point.I still have allot of work to do but here is what I have as of now. I wanted a Southern style rig not a small tire rig that the body covers the tires.That's just not my style. So a kinda low rig with cut fenders and a big set of tires is the game plan. I just used some square tube for the frame and 3/16 rod for the boat sides and cage. I had a set of axial axles,and trans so that is the drive train. After a trip to Jeff's tonight I come home with a set of 1/4 elliptic springs to try for the rear suspension and a set of turned down TLT shocks. I am not real sure what I am going to do for the front suspension yet maybe Coil springs? I was able to scrape up a set of RC4wd 2.2 rok lox that will be here mid week so I just used leopards to have something to build around. Well here is what I have so far.And a big thanks goes out to Jeff for letting me raid his basement for parts.          |

I have been wanting to do one like this for a while I just did not want to catch the crap for it being so big.:? Quote:
I am not sure how the little Quarter elliptical setup will work. There is not much weight to make it function but it looks cool. Quote:

Looks sweet!!! That's one thing about this economy. Just when everything is able to be store bought seems like I am back to the old days and raiding for parts and finding things stuffed away that can be used for super cool builds. I have been trying to figure out what to do with all those outrunners I have sitting around.
