|  Banzai II: TTC FJ
..... BANZAI II  I needed a new 2.2 rig and we are having a local TTC in a few weeks, so I started on this buggy. I actually built this tuber in a smaller version a few years ago: Bonzai Buggy comp tuber I always wanted a bigger version of that rig. A club member had these scale frames cut out and I wanted to try one. So Banzai II was born! All of the tube work is brazed to the full length frame rails, and it's based on Scx suspension geometry, 3-link front & 4-link rear. Specs: Axial axles & tranny I may use another tranny for t-case (would make it easy to add dig!) RC4WD shocks (may get changed) The wheel/tire combo is gonna get changed also MIP steel shafts servo winch JR 9100 st servo Novak Goat 21.5 combo Well onto the pics.   Scx skid  The goods  Mandatory flex shot  More to come soon  |

Not sure, but the hood was just laying there and everything else was just mocked up. Well sorry it took so long for an update, but I've been busy learning G & M code and Trig functions. Enough of that onto the pics Mmmmm fresh powder coat   Front end ready for fairlead  Close-up of pan hard bar and steering, Hand Bros style  You can see the dummy 3racing winch and where the servo winch is gonna go. Also that I switched to 32P  Roller status! Just gotta hide all these wires somewhere  I have alot of work to do still, but it will be together for the TTC :tmbup: | |

I get all my powder from www.absolutepowdercoating.com Fine black texture is the color I used on this frame. I got a pleasant surprise in the mail yesterday.  EXI Rockers -I love these wheels. I ordered mine with 1" delrin hoops in plain finish, so I could PC them to match.  I love how they look on the rig   Now I'm already for the TTC tomorrow. I just gotta make a spool for the servo winch. Interior details and rear steer are in the near future   |

Well I had a great time at the TTC today. I didn't do that well 4th out of 5 drivers, but I am happy with how well the rig performed today. No carnage, just a lil mud and a few minor adjustments that need to be made. Here are some pics from the TTC: Truck pull  Mini Rubicon  Tank trap   |

While out at Toys R us picking up some stocking stuffers I saw this Tech Deck guy and I hoped his head would fit on the Wild Willy driver. Well....  and he's a perfect fit  |
