"Southern Comfort" by CFM It is always evolving. From basic to full out custom chassis. Main reason for this build is to also help showcase the wonderful vendors and their products sold here on RCC. Also to help show with a little creativity, what all can be done before going to a full custom chassis. It is also a test bed for my own products and custom machine work. Hope you enjoy the evolution of this rig as much as I do building it.

Cutting the lugs on the boggers! I saw the same thing on a 1:1 buggy last night and they looked mean! Just looked on rc4wd, the predators are 2.2? I thought they were only in 1.55. I must have missed something! Just looked again...it looks like they are a 2.2 version of the void. It's late. I'm going to bed! Following this one."thumbsup" |
Well at least the diff covers fit. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/bd32112d.jpg And the cage mod that is going in it. I built a clone of this a while back, something about the cage has always stuck with me. It's just different. Woodlee has an eye for making art of vehicles. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/be16f300.jpg Think I'll make it a family rig as well with a back seat. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/18e48d98.jpg |
Hey, I still have that cage that you made:mrgreen:. Looking forward seeing more. |
I was wandering where it was now. I made it so long ago, when I first started brazing, and before I had my new bad ass mig. |
Starting on the aluminum skins. Front wraps around into fender well. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/b9307122.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/be761b03.jpg |
Awesome!!! I love the aluminum panels you made! If you ever decide to sell those lmk. |

Got the cage tacked together tonight. It's a mixture of 1/4 and 3/16 solid and the bottom dash bar is 1/4 aluminum. Ends were turned in a lathe to fit as stock bars did. CMS and new front end to come. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/dcbb0be9.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/994a2bb6.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/7d45fb21.jpg |
Nice work, looks wicked. |
Wow, how you tie the tubes together to fit the stock chassis is beyond me. It looks killer and the solid rod is going to be bullet proof. Question: Why not build a full steel cage? By the way, love the 1:1 family buggy!!!"thumbsup" |
Thanks for the compliments everybody. Quote:

Dinky Rc V2 hood. The fit and finish on these are excellent. Plan on getting a V3 as well. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/f45026c7.jpg |
Looks great so far, can't wait to see what else you come up with. You sure didn't leave much left of your Boggers!! :ror: "thumbsup" |
