thats okay this next rig is going to be 1/10 but have a full 1/8 system in it, ill be jumping over yeti xl's or crawling over them with them voodoo's also ive driven the yeti and i feel my vehicle handles better and is built like a brickshit house compared to a yeti, plus i just LOVE to build the cars more than drive them.. so long as there beautiful on my shelf and when i sling them around my yard and local tracks and i get some ooooo's nd ahhh's im happy haha, plus big isnt my thing.. im happy with 2.2 rigs and there ability to go nearly anywhere,

[gunder463]

this is never good.

[gunder463]

well ripped out the tranny and put in a HD lower shaft, hope it holds better.

If you plan on using 1/8 running gear then You should take a close look at the Losi Muggy. It has beefy gears that out perform the traxxas E-Revo stuff and is easy to find. The parts interchange with a few losi platforms LST being one of them. Big bore shocks and low center of gravity is also nice. The only thig that will need to be delt with is the tranmission. It is what I will be working with on my next build. finding a roller doesn't break the bank and aftermarket is very good also.

heard lots about the muggy but i dont want big lol

[twissted]

Length:21.75 in
Width:18 in
Wheelbase:14 in
Weight:11.4 lb
Drivetrain:Gear Ratio 14.48:1
Also http://www.innovative-rc.com/emuggy-chassis-p-603.html is a brushless kit that makse a racing buggy build a snap!

From what I can tell the width is what takes it out of scale. so if you used Zero back spaced wheels this would take care of most of that also different arms from the LST would fix the rest.
But I was just throwing out a idea not trying to sell you on what you should build from. I'm here for the popcorn. lol

well took it out for a beat and sheared a side off the spool, that sucked, but got atleast one good shot while i was out,

[gunder463]

well tired of breaking bmrc 5mm spools so got supershaftys 6mm mip females for the front end and a bmrc 6mm spool hope it will be better with a tad more beef also changed out the electros to a MMP and a sc4x4 i like that combo it works well.

[gunder463]

tear down tonight might do a new set of panes so i can change up the theme? sounds like fun to me. anyways also been thinking about sending it back to McCrawlin for some changes to be made but we will see what i end up doin.

[gunder463]

so after i get the whole thing stripped down and fixed it will be being sent out to McCrawlinslow for some bracing to be added to the front end, also thinking about getting a Yeti GCM A-13 for this rig,

[magicbullet]

The centered A-13 looks awesome and will be great for racing! I'm thinking it will balance out the look (and torque) nicely. Beautiful rig.

[gunder463]

yeah i think the A-13 is a must so i ordered it, thinking im going to have to contact creeper bob for some rear axle shafts that will last.

[gunder463]

been doing some work, might have McCrawlin rework the rear suspension. liking these trailing arms.
