This rig is going to be my little bash around rig. It will be 100% waterproof and will have a good amount of speed. The fabrication on this has been handed of to Muddauber7 of Dinky RC.

I dropped off all the materials tonight to the Dinky RC Shop. We set the wheelbase at 10.5 inches and worked out a few details and I left it in Matt's capable hands.

I snapped a few pics of the early stages and will get them posted soon. The rig is planned to be a runner by Monday or Tuesday.

ok that made my kids crack up,but hey thats a good start

Why the 10.5 wheel base instead of having it 12.5 I was just wondering

Hey if it helps MTHead built a gopher and his links where 3.8 fronts and 4.8 rears. I did that and it worked out pretty good

My guess is because it is going to be a basher and not a comp rig. I got one and and it's going to be 10.5 too for those reasons.

Holey giant pictures batman!!!:shock:

Is that a rock racer?

I think it's what the title says Harley's Dinky PeeWee Gopher

The Pee Wee part.

This isn't my first Gopher.

Yes that is correct, and it will ride on 1.9 cut and shut Masher 2k's.

Yup, plenty of speed for this little guy :lol:


HEY its not the size of the PeeWee its the way you use it!:shock:

I see a 1.9 Gopher Spec class being formed ;-)

Pee-Wee Crawler class.

looks great. might have to jump in a get one.

Looks great Josh, you will love it. I ran mine for a few hours yesterday and thats all I want to do now :lol:

Your renderings are so cool. They made me want a Gopher lol. The other one was on Wheelyking axles right?

Yeah I am excited to get this guy running, with some speed this thing will be a blast.

Yep WK axles, heres the build thread (about 14 pages ), I started this build before we started producing the Gopher chassis for TCS:

This rig will probably get the same skid plate mod that I just did to the WK Gopher.

Nice looking rig for a girly car driver!:flipoff:

OOO you just pushed the wrong button, you might pissat him off :shock:

ha freaking ha

Pissat - Passat you clever bastard.

What Dez forgot to mention is that he rolls a red VW Beetle! I know it was his because it had a Rose and a TLT axle shaft in the flower vase that is built into the dash.


I need to pic my electronics now, I am thinking a cheap LRP AI Runner for the speedo because it is water proof. The reverse delay blows but oh well, but I still can't decide on a motor :?

why the small shocks? will you get enough articulation out of those..

Absolutely.

With a short wheelbase and 1.9 tires you don't want very much articulation. There would really be no need for any more the 2" of articulation. With 80mm shocks, even running them completely vertical I still may need to limit them. In addition the link setup is a 40/60 split, so I should have a good amount of control and predictability.

Articulation is over-rated 8)

Pffffft, it was a Hi Lift axle shaft!:roll:

Rookie!:flipoff:

But you have inspired me to build a 1.9 comp rig!"thumbsup"
