the "AVENGER" 2.2 rock bouncer

[mcrawlinslow]

This buggy has been in the works for about a month now so figured its time to start a build thread, i have been working with warriorsimi to make this happen, he has done an amazing job replicating this buggy seeing as we couldnt really find any pics anywhere just the video of it. Were only a few days away from it being in the mail on its way home to ME. Here is the pic of what were shooting for, and there's a video below the pic

Looks good. Paint em blue!

[mcrawlinslow]

ive been contemplating powdercoating them blue but i dont have the right axles for it to look right if i do i would have to buy either some rc4wd balistic fab axles or black widow axles for it to look half way correct, sooo as far as axles i havent made up my mind as i already have a bunch money into the ones i have

LUCKY!! that must have been a blast! Not sure on the 4ws i hate the look of an extra servo but will see, plus i need to upgrade my radio system if i do, i have a dx3r radio

[mcrawlinslow]

Also im gonna be looking for someone who can make me a vinyl sticker/wrap for the side panels to look as close to the 1:1 as they can get, if anyone know's someone on here please let me know, thanks

KOH was a blast some bad ass equipment gets hauled out to the desert to get "hammered", haha.

Try KrawlerKoncepts for your wrap, if not i am sure they can point you in the right direction!

Good Luck! Nice Ride!

[mcrawlinslow]

Just got word the chassis and my parts are going in the mail tomorrow and since its only in the next state over will be a quick ride
Will haev my hands full buildin an interior for it and trying to see if i can get a scale engine in it, cant wait!!

[Calderwood]

Avenger definitely has one of the more sane, thought out chassis for its genre. You are off to a great start.

[mcrawlinslow]

exciting day i got a box in the mail with my parts and chassis! doin some mock up and making sure everything is good to go then gotta start welding nuts on for panels and start the dash and seat mounting, oh and try to figure out where to mount everything its gonna be tight

[mcrawlinslow]

and some pics as a roller, think i need to go a shorter shock gotta dig through my goodies and see what i have

[mcrawlinslow]

Looks good! I noticed the hydro bumbstop mounts. What are you going to use for bumpstops?

THAT... im still thinkin on lol i have a couple ideas just for looks but will wait and see if the idea works before i post

[ngward79]

Looking great as usual ! I made mounts on my U4 for bump stops as well but haven't got around to finishing it and I used a piece of 1/4" tubing as the mounts and planned to cut a slit on them so I could wedge in some Losing mini t shocks for the bump stops.
