Very nice build

. The interior detail is pimp. The color combo doesn't do much for me, but badass regardless.

Watch out!..that guy can break parts on a rig without plugging in a battery!!!! Osmosis will surely contribute to broken parts on your rig. All worry warting aside...take vids of the carnage!

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 11-20-2011, 09:57 AM

well i think the motor is just too much for the smaller rod ends...
it ripped'em out again 2nd try up the hill..

so ill be redoing the links with some revo push rods...
solid and beefy..

Might I make a suggestion.
years ago when I ran the USNICK buggy I made the mistake of not listening and ran link ends and links that looked like they would hold up. It cost me not even finishing the first course.

I switched yo solid threaded rod sleeved with stainless tube and REVO & T Maxx rod ends. Trouble solved.

Just a thought.. in the end, its worth the investment.

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 11-21-2011, 10:40 AM

JKS1962 · 11-21-2011, 01:41 PM

Ccan't wait to see it finished

Grizzly4x4 · 11-21-2011, 02:31 PM

Here's my suggestion for links.

These have held up amazingly well for me in my super, in Guido, and as trailing arms on my solid axle Slash.

Anybody make their own links?

MG200 · 11-24-2011, 07:33 AM

I use the Revo ends (5347) on all my rigs. An 8-32 stud or piece of all thread will go into them without the need for a tap.

Did you figure out what links your gonna make?

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 11-24-2011, 07:40 AM

i got revo pushrods coming in the mail.
gonna try them 1st..if they dont fit or look right.
im going the sleeved allthread route.

Agama · 11-26-2011, 08:16 AM

I kept bending allthread and stainless tube. I've switched to titanium wih revo ends. I use the allthread for mock up, then order the titanium from Lungsford or Vanquish.

JUGGARNAUT · 12-04-2011, 07:28 PM

and...?...I dont want this thread to fade . I love these Southern Buggies, hell , all these buggies, but this one is in my top 5. Updates Bro?

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 12-05-2011, 07:16 AM

just finished repairing the weekends broken parts on my crawlers..
thanks charlie..

my push rods came in..finally.
just sizing them up,it should be a direct swap.

should have it done in a day or so.
then maybe i can run it for more than 2 min before something breaks.

orvpark · 12-05-2011, 08:58 AM

bring it out (if its back together) next time your out at the park and we will see what it can do to the hill behind the pavilion!!

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 12-05-2011, 10:58 AM

that hill is gonna be owned..

Tuffguy · 12-05-2011, 11:32 AM
