|  First attempt at a truggy
I have been watching the veterans at this and thought it would be easy. I have been a hobby fabricator forever.... how hard can it be????  Ok that was easy.....  Getting harder  Having fun now!!!  What was I thinking why didn't I stop when it was still fun. Last edited by Spork_Assassin; 03-13-2014 at 03:37 PM. |

This should be good!!! I'll be sure to build a parts truck to fallow your truggy. Since you like to run them till they fall apart lol. Nice Brian looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

For the experts maybe. I'm figuring about 8 hours so far. Cut, fit, braze, rip apart and repeat

Not sure what the wheel base is going to be yet. It is really high but I just ordered the 2.2 baja claw TTC radials. I will wait for them to set ride height
