Obe's sportsman build SuDu style

[obebaldone1]

Well I was kicking around the idea of a sportsman rebuild and after I got a look at the new SuDu I jumped in head first. This wont be a super tech build just some pictures and maybe some good input/advice from y'all.. I would also like to thank all the RCC vendors that I proudly support and you will see many parts from them on this build. Thanks guys.

First off I hit Tomi up for his new chassis and some custom links. Thanks Tomi for a top notch product.

I already had a XR conversion with delrin tubes but I had the beef tubes and wanted to give them a try. Got them in place today.

A few moc up pictures with scx10 shocks. I'm not sure I will stick with this shock or go back to my big bores. I will be working on the upper links tomorrow.

That's gotta be one of the best looking chassis out right now, I can't wait to see it in action.

Looking good ! I like those links .... they are nice and shiny Al .... or Ti ?

[obebaldone1]

Thanks for the coments guys. The links are SS.

[Haastnooit]

Another possibility offcourse .... Any update yet ?

[obebaldone1]

Got a little more done today. Made up some upper links for the rear and after a quick trip to the hardware store I got the front end all together.

Front end ready for an install.

The final run it was. And it gave a valiant effort..lol. But after seeing Harvos truck I couldn't even stay to run finals with this chassis sitting on the work bench.

This thing is just bad a$$. Front lowers and shocks are now mounted up. I have got to figure out something for the drive shaft in the front due to the MIP being to long.

I like the Wild Boars, running them with the insert in the male shaft myself.

As the othet guy said use the WB8 shafts with an insert in the male half for added strength. Is what i use and sent both Tomi and Douwe to run as i had access to them easily locally. They holding up to my comp abuse
