[Skippy]

[Skippy]

Hey guys I got a bit done today. First I got my tires which look great on my rims. Still no shocks dang. I got the upper cage and the other bracing in. I have developed a new phobia well every frame I build I get burnt some way or another it is part of it but every time it happens I have fresh clean cloths so today I got burnt in the first 10 mins with fresh cloths on so I dont think I am washing these jeans till I am done.

But tomarrow I plan on getting the rear cage and floor in maybe even the suspention started.

That came out great. I'm happy with all the details and the final look of it. I think I'm going to have to go finish mine up soon. :)

[ColquittCustom405]

I would love to see some video of that.I love that style,looks good.I'm jealous;-)

[Cloak]

haha DJ. That's actually really similar to the style I started out a few weeks back. I liked that low flat design a bit better than the high one like you did yours. Both look great though. I think I might scrap the work I did on mine already and make a few changes. :)

I would suggest to Skippy the same thing I did to you. You may want to really look at plastic arms if you decide to sell them, Skippy. You know people will break them and instead of you fabbing up a bunch of arms to sell, you can just slap on some premades. Nothing looks quite as good as the metal arms though.

Oh, one other thing. I would either look into putting a skid over those bottom links or see about moving those links up above the skid. I can easily see them getting smashed up easily.

[Skippy]

NA I dont plan on sale these rite now maybe down the road but I would go to a b3 front end full just bolt it up and your done to make it easier. That is good idea with the skids I will think about that. Rite now I am building the rear an arms they are proving to be a pain in the a$$. It doesn't help that I have been working almost nonstop on this thing for a few days now but I hope to finish it wednesday

[Trike Kid]

Way too cool Skippy (actually my nick name in real life). This sand rail/baja craze has started putting ideas in my head about what to do with all the evader BX stuff I've got. I assume you're going to be doing some kind of aluminum dash in the interior?

[rockschooler]

looks great cant wait to see finished pics and video of it in action

[Skippy]

Tonight I got the rear done all I need now is to fine tune the rear, servo mount, intior,paint, wire
