Default Bulldog's MG200 EB Rebuild
Hey guys,

I picked this Chassis up in a trade and wanted to give it a little fluff and buff.

The chassis is one of Trenton's EB Chassis' I had it stripped and powder coated silver metalic, just like the Jimmy's rig. It cleaned up really nicely. It will have wraith axles and 2.2s. The only thing I did differently was weld on the front stinger similar to some of the other EBs I've seen on the boards.

I had an old body that came with it. I painted the outside just to change the color and get an idea for how it would look.
Got some fresh paint on a fresh dynamic concepts body (the film is still on the outside here)
And getting some reassembly done.
That's it for now. More pics tomorrow.

And if you can spot a small assembly error, I'll give you a cookie.

I'm not a big fan of the brace either, but it's there.

The funny thing about yesterday was that I was texting someone, trying to work something out and I'd turn the chassis, mount it. Oh crap, backwards! Unmount the skid, change the links, crap, skid is backwards. Remount it, crap, chassis is backwards. I pulled it apart and did this about 4 times before I finally concentrated and put the steering axle in the front.

Don't text and build!

Well you probably don't want to repainted it. But I would think Lue could hook you up with a quickness.

A couple of updates. All the rigs got some love yesterday.
Made some inner fenderwells out of abs. This is how I do it...use posterboard for the mockup and then transfer to the plastic one it fits nice and tight.


Mounted the locked up wheels to some Baja claws instead of the pitbulls. I forgot to order the scale hubs, so for the moment I'm going cheap and sleezy with axial hubs!


A quick shot of the new body. Paint on the inside this time!



Updates soon.

More pics.
Inner fenderwells to hide all the junk.




Flex shots.











Panhard setup.











I still want to mock it up on some smaller axles and maybe 1.9s or 1.55s. Stay tuned. Thanks for looking!

Here's the mockup with some k44s and different tire combinations.

1.55s



1.9s






Any thoughts on what you guys like best? I'd be curious to hear your feedback.
I like all the combinations. Whoever scoops it up can surely do a lot with this chassis. Should be in the classifieds some time this week. This will go as a chassis and some other goodies included...not a full roller.
