Chaotic Ultra4 buggy "Bad Action III"

[Chaotic Crawlers]

I've been bashing my wraith for a while now and decided it was time to separate myself from the pack.

I've been searching for the right tube frame for a while now.

It just so happened that my buddy k9popo got hit by a car and needed to sell off some stuff, so when he posted this chassis up I figured I could help a brotha out And pick up a sick k9 tuber.

Build will consist of...

Wraith axles
Axial aluminum knuckles and c hubs
Mip shafts
Chaotic Titanium links
Chaotic Titanium 4 bend steering link
Wraith Trans with Robinson racing steel gears
32 pitch spur
Losi 17.5
Tekin RS
CC BEC
4pk
3r winch
TSS beadlocks
Proline TSL's
Team 3 six seats
I'm sure I'm forgetting something?

I slapped it together last night really quick just to get an idea of what I'm working with.
I will need to plan out a bumper and decide what body I will end up using.

Here she is as of tonight.








Excuse the mess. I am in the middle of a move and am living out of boxes and clutter.

My wraith already does for the most part.
I'm hopIng this one is as capable.
The shock setup will be a lot different from my wraith setup.

[Chaotic Crawlers]

I've been tinkering with link length and shocks the last couple nights.

I finally have found the stance and look I am looking for.

Just need to bend up the lower links now.

I picked up some proline scaler shocks the other day, and boy are they awesome.

They have exactly the look I was looking for and stance.
I also picked up some body panels as well. Just need to get everything situated before I start cutting panels to fit.
I also am hoping to have some time to weld up a front bumper this weekend.




A close up of the shocks.

I do too! Only 8 sets huh....? Well I have 2 of them, guess I'm really not going to part with them now!!


Rig looks awesome, is the tubework heavy? Looks nice and low, gotta love popo's work!

[Chaotic Crawlers]

The frame is not heavy at all. It's made from tube not rod.

I've been searching for a set for almost a year now
Luckily for me a literally brand new set showed up in the classifieds recently

Thanks for the compliments guys

I am loving this rig more and more every time I look at it

Next up is a front bumper

I didn't realize they were in the background
One is my first buck and the other is one my dad got a couple years previous.

I used to have an old 1977 Power Wagon like that, kinda burnt orangish brown. Had a ton of fun with that truck.

To bring up background stuff...

[Chaotic Crawlers]

A little more wheel love!

Haha. Yeah that Is my dads truck. He used to race it in hill climb competitions and then drive it home. In that pic it's rockin 4 paddles.
That truck was a bad motha!

We just moved in with my mom to help her out for a while. So we are living in the basement which is full of all kinds of interesting things

What is the track width with the TSS rims?

[rcjunky3]

11.5" tire to tire

[darkmanx]

That is a one off chassis right? And is it class 3 legal width? I would assume it is seeing how you are the one building it, but I was just wondering!

Thx

[doublej]

is that the height your going to run it? looks sick!
