I was curious to see how you were going to mount your links. You blew my mind when I saw the pics. Way to think outside the box |

Wow that is amazing looking. Im not a giant fan of the moon buggy's "looks" but that doesn't mean it sure can't crawl but your rig is the exception to the rule You could loose some weight by yanking all those knuckle weights  in all actuality I don't think ive seen that many stacked on one knuckle before  |

no ego, some things you just have to figure out on your own. besides you said you had already thought of it and if Lars through out the close up pics what would you have to contemplate and stew about while tinkering at the hobby bench! I say we as me and lars spent 18 hours in a car, and this little car is part of what came of it. After everything is tested Im sure there will be plenty of tech and tips posted. Once you start posting on here and people see a close up they tend to take it as gosppel. Hopefully this looks as good as it works, though Lars has put it all together and spent countless hours getting everything to fit and work where it is. Hopefully I can get one or two of the last parts he needs and we can drive it this weekend! Though you are right Chris this is Lars' build, all that I did was mull through ideas with him,(A few of which I didnt think would work, though Lars manages to amaze me) and make some parts available for him to give a try. Without all of his build time and inginuity the little truck definetily wouldnt happen, Lars- you have mad skills and a mountain of patience. You are a integral part of the team!!

Nice work, Lars, ...... er I mean SDS Customz, .....uh, er, I mean John. Oh hell, not sure who's truck this is now, I'm so confused. Anyway, whoever built it and put all the thought into it, great job. I hope it drives as well as it looks, some great ideas in this truck.Lars, you have mad truck-building skills. Keep up the good work. Looks like you are ready for Pro Sportsman dominance. |
