C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" This will be buggy of a different breed. It will be a cab forward chassis design I drew up a couple years ago and never came to life. KINDA WILD IDEA BUT. .. It will look similar to a Mog cab and a snowmobile rear. I thought it might look cool as a rock buggy. It will be powered by a twin turbo flat six. I'm not only a big fan of mogs and sleds but also huge fan of Porsche 911's and the 911 tuned 935 with twins!! The cool thing about the 935 was how light they were for their time and the motors made 7-800 HP and they are air cooled!! I've seen a few 1:1 rock buggies with turbos and I thought I better snag a super scale 935 motor. I've never had a project that has gotten me this stoked. I'm hoping to bore you with lots of good pics and techy info. ..

VP DEFINITELY HIT IT OUT IF THE PARK WITH THESE. I MUST SAY THESE ARE TRULY A WORK OF ART. ... I LOVE THE MACHINE WORK AND THAT THEY INCORPORATED THE BIGGER PINION BEARING. ..

Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Making the rear axle work as a XR width setup was easy. Only had to drill and tap 2 holes for the truss. Everything else for the rear would just be assembly. Like I said I love the 3rd member and how perfectly it assembles! What a nice axle! http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4576&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4577&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4579&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4580&t=1 |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" The front axle was a little more work to make it a passenger side drop but worth it. I ordered up a SCX F9 truss from VP and as always they were very willing to help. In order to make this work I had to roll the tubes down so the holes were pointed at the ground. You can see the marks I made on the bottom of the housing to make sure everything lines up. You can see that I rolled the tubes slightly though. This will help point the pinion at the trans better rather than having the pinion parallel with the ground. This will be sorta like having a high pinion and alleviates sharp angles in the drive shafts. 2nd is a pic of my old Tundra I built with the same concept as far as driveshaft angle. It creates some challenges with your knuckles but easily remedied. http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4581&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4582&t=1 NEW HOLE FOR TRUSS ON TOP http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4584&t=1 Next is modified truss cut on one side to make room for panhard. http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4585&t=1 Next is pass side link mount to be modified. This mount is actually meant for the drivers side to be used with the bigger U4 truss. The one hole fits existing hole in pumpkin on pass side. Other one I have to drill and tap in the center of the mount. http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4586&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4588&t=1 NEW HOLE http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4589&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4591&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4593&t=1 |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" That's some nice axle work. Thought I was looking at an episode of Extreme 4x4 lol. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Axles are as far they can go till uni shafts and C's come in! http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4598&t=1 |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Chassis is coming along good. sorry for the crappy pics. I'm using 4130 Chromoly tubing with 56 safety silv. Seems pretty strong so far. Here is the base skid tube work. Also I'll be running a full 1/8" thick delrin skid to wrap the entire bottom of this tube skid. This stuff brazed almost as nice as DOM http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4599&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4600&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4601&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4603&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4606&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4607&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4608&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4610&t=1 |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Very nice work. This is why I am in to this hobby. |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" I would call dibs on this one, but I would never drive it. looks too cool on paper for me to even think to thrash it. this one will be over the top! I thought my mid motor 4 banger turbo was gonna be cool.. this is sweet! ill be silently watching this. |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Thanx fellas much appreciated! I hope to have the chassis much further along after this weekend is over! ! "thumbsup" |

Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Not much to update, been busy. Did get nuts brazed to skid base and template cut for skid plate! Lower link mounts and nose section next! http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4622&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4624&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4626&t=1 |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Ahhhhh yah! Make two! This is going to be rad. I've seen some European forward bias'd cab'd rigs that have caught my attention as well. |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Subscribed. Your solder work is very clean "thumbsup" |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Just saw this.....very cool! Great job on modifying the axles to work for your project. |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" everything in this thread is cool af... love the swampers. |

Thanx dood, im lookin forward to getting the Swampers mounted up and out on our super sticky Utah rock!! Swampers do very well in many different terrains. I know they are one of the best tires for our terrain. "thumbsup" |
Re: C3 twin turbo W.E. ROCK buggy "Mog Sled" Started on CMS mount on Saturday. I'm really not a big fan of CMS on WE Rock type buggy but they are also more challenging to aquire points on. ... Mount is in. It will require some bracing up front but it is coming along slowly right now. I also brazed up the grill/nose piece as well as the hood piece. More to come this week. Hopefully it will look like a chassis soon :lmao: http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4632&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4634&t=1 http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4635&t=1 UPPER FRAME NOSE PIECES http://www.usca-rc.com/download/file.php?id=4636&t=1 |
