|  Top Truck Challenge
My buddy Timmy Cameron has made it in to the top 50 for top truck challenge with his Coleworx buggy. I hope he gets enough votes to go he really wants to make the trip from TN to California to compete. The boy has no fear when it comes to driving and has spared no expense on building his buggy. He loves to put on a show. Check him out. http://youtube.com/watch?v=t32kjYzP4R4 http://youtube.com/watch?v=p5e3Siz7YIk http://youtube.com/watch?v=wir8f8KNc6Y http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZDoy9S82ETA http://youtube.com/watch?v=1BRjpKEzsiU http://youtube.com/watch?v=_qMgd6hA_ew http://youtube.com/watch?v=P9RjG_Cze5U http://youtube.com/watch?v=89SiFHw4rik http://youtube.com/watch?v=XdAZkOq18ew http://youtube.com/watch?v=OQ4xtxi09VY&feature=related |

In my opinion There is not much about the buggy not to like other than if your much over 5foot 8inches tall you cant ride. But the buggy was built to fit the driver who is short and skinny. The builder Brian Cole flows his chassis and uses some crazy lines. When the chassis was first built there where several people that said that the chassis was built with looks in mind to much, and would never hold up in a hard roll. That has been proved wrong time and time again.The buggy has been flipped over backwards and over sideways multiple times.It has even been barrel rolled i think like 4 or 5 times with no damage other than one bent tube. But i guess everyone has there style they like.  Here is a pick showing some of the tube work with out the body panels on.  |

That buggy is insane. How much does it cost to build something like that?

I've always liked that rig. He meets all my criteria for Top Truck Challenge: No stock Chevy 350 motor Bigger than 44" tires Looks wicked He's got my vote. |

That thing has been my favorite buggy by far for a long time now. Brian thinks totally outside the box when he builds his chassis, they are all freakin sick looking! I love the way Tim drives, when in ....doubt hammer down!! |

he's going to need to adjust his style a bit for out on the west coast, specially for real rock crawling, gas is good, but you still have to know how to crawl to get through the rock gardens. Also seems like he's running a lot of pressure equating to ton of wheel slip, any one else think so?

That buggy looks great, but doesn't perform as well as it looks. IMO He sits so far back he can't see over the front, so he just hammers down until on flat ground. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTmRx...eature=related |
