W.O.D. inspired family 4 seater buggy, "Southern Comfort" by CFM I have a thread in the Wraith section on this build but just wanted to do a build thread just on this part of the build and not the progression of the Wraith over time and seeing as how the only part left that of the Wraith will be the skid. Buggy is based off the 4 seater Revolution chassis by W.O.D. and one of Woodlee's earliest builds. He has the best eye for these style rigs and aren't just skeletons like the other buggies being built in that style. I have enlisted Tyler from the Dinky RC garage to handle the chassis work as I'm to busy these days and he seems to have a good eye for this style rig. Parts list will be updated here as I piece it together.

Here is the inspiration for the build as sent to Tyler(muddauberjr) http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/7e995ee7.jpg And the windshield change that I have used in all my personal scale tube builds that is also from Woodlee http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/be16f300.jpg TSS wheels with rings by MThead. Have my company logo and the Southern Comfort logo etched in. Also added lug nuts. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/10900496.jpg The C.L.A.W winch w/functional free spool http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/86d5544f.jpg Rest of the parts most everyone knows what they look like and will show up as the build progresses unless you request pics and that's no problem.

Tyler has started the chassis and its coming along nicely. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/8c67d651.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/76e06f53.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/98921dc2.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/d16c30f7.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/918835a0.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/9a835cab.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/f67d3547.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/4229ffa8.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/d1f92095.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/2c439bd8.jpg Carter Fab & Machine: Hand Made Customs |
Right now I'm torn on which axles to run. It will be between the "Titan 60" axle housings or the "Ultimate 9" axle housings. Here is a link to the axles: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...-complete.html, http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...-post-2-a.html The Titans are finished and were sent for mockup. The 9s are nearing completion.

Here is a pic of the rear axle ready to be sent off an have the truss and link mounts welded up. Got the lockouts drilled an tapped this morning and just need to make the shafts but that will be a quickie. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/cfe131dd.jpghttp://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/8bbebd29.jpg Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |
The "Ultimate 9" housings definitely have the wow factor over the "Titan 60" housings but the rear links are going to be tricky with the extreme offset rear diff. Decisions decisions!!! Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |
Re: W.O.D. inspired family 4 seater buggy, "Southern Comfort" by CFM beautiful work on those axles! |
Re: W.O.D. inspired family 4 seater buggy, "Southern Comfort" by CFM I've been doing research for my custom AR60 axle build and came across your stuff. I've been really impressed with your work and you have inspired me to get these axles done. "thumbsup" I am looking forward to this build; I'm a big fan of Adam's work and I think you will do him right. 8) |

And some of the scale detail going into the rigs these days, Norm(cough cough), is insane. In case you haven't seen all my scaler axles or want work done here is a link. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axles...-housings.html Clay Carter Fab & Machine Carter Fab & Machine: Hand Made Customs |
Little something to cover the servo under the hood. Have another one coming that has a blower on it. Nice part is they easily break down for fitment and customization. They also are the perfect size for Wraith sized builds. Set it in my chassis last night and fits perfect where the stock electronics box used to fit. http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/aae044c3.jpg http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/6be31b33.jpg Carter Fab & Machine: Hand Made Customs |
