Well it's time to start another build, but this time I'm not going all out crazy with detail, but it's going to go fast and suck up rocks. This is going to be raced in the U4RC at Glen Helen race park and the rocks are not your friends. The main piece's of the cage will be 3/16'' solid with random 1/8'' pieces and 3/16'' brake line for less weight. I'm going to be using a axial trans (all steel inside) a RX8, Pro 4 motor, (don't know which one yet) and some other wraith parts. But for now here's a few pics, not much but prototyping the cage right now.

i dig the jig

Archangel · 09-03-2013, 09:27 AM

Ooooh. I like it already.

mattzilla · 09-03-2013, 09:33 AM

Yes, that jig brings back some memory's. I'm digg'n it so far..

tedo · 09-03-2013, 09:33 AM

Man,
I have been watching those ultra4rc races for the last week! Those races look super fun. I want to start something like that up here in Vermont...

Definitely need a purpose built rig for that course (light, strong, quick - not necessarily super fast).

You doing IFS or solid?

Hacksaw707 · 09-03-2013, 10:10 AM

Nice start

The Doc · 09-03-2013, 10:28 AM

The cage is starting to come around

at first I wasn't liking it but I think I'm digging it now.

12stepRC · 09-03-2013, 05:20 PM

Lookin good so far, I'm used to seeing crappy welding skills so its a breath of fresh air to see your nice joints haha, It looks like an exo chassis to me for some reason though.

Rockpiledriver · 09-03-2013, 05:28 PM

So did you find that part?

fordsuperduty · 09-03-2013, 06:31 PM

Great looking buggy man can't wait to see it finished

I like the changes to the rear

Curious about those rear lower link mounts? I'll be waiting to see how this one comes together

teto, they are a blast you should really get some people together. u4rc has rules to follow and the class's go by weights etc, they also want the rigs to look as scale as possible which make videos look so cool. The only thing about the last night race was my VP light bar was so bright that when I was coming back toward me on the straight I couldn't see shit!!

You doing IFS or solid?

You'll have to wait and see. I have competitors lurking here.

Yea, the spare sat too high and blocked the rear light bar. but I think I screwed myself with the rear sway bar now.

Ok!!......... so everyone runs radiators.....(me too) but this time I went with shrouding and fans.

DAMN!!......Pit Bulls are big.

Rockpiledriver · 09-05-2013, 11:38 AM

You could run a smaller spare, more room for the swaybar. it's not like you will need to change a tire...Yet.
