| Baja Buggy: 56k warning
I guess I'm allowed to post this on here.. Yeah yeah yeah, it's a crawling site, but I figure yall might want to take a look at what I'm doin here. I figured it was time for something new for me. I was watching xtreme 4x4 one day and saw these baja buggies. I, of course thought about building an rc car like that since I can't drive 1:1 cars yet... So yeah, I looked em up, and here I am. I'm using rc10 t2 a-arms (front and rear) and steering hubs, and a stealth tranny thats locked up from me putting it into a tlt.. The rest is pretty much made by me. Today, for Christmas I got lots of goodies... Dirt work Tires: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...?&I=LXUM92&P=ML Associated 3 piece wheels: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...p?&I=LX2954&P=7 Springs: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...p?&I=LXXF86&P=7 Rpm ball ends: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...p?&I=LXEV19&P=7 GP 3700 battery pack: http://cheapbatterypacks.com/main.a...turer=2&model=4 Spur gear: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...p?&I=LX3105&P=7 Pinion Gear: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...p?&I=LX3089&P=7 Last but not least! Novak GTB Racing Brushless System 5.5 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...?&I=LXKSW0&P=ML Here are some pics for comparison to the real thing. I'm not going to make mine just like the real ones, but it's going to look somewhat simular. Got those pics from : http://www.dirtfocus.com/offroad_racing_index.htm In care you want to look at more of those buggies. Onto some more pics: Heres a nice little drawing I did a while back: As you can see, I got all my new stuff mounted on there. I did just about all of this today. I'm off for the Christmas break, so I'll have tons of time to build. I should be able to finish the whole thing by the end of the break. Yeah, thats right... those are yo yo's holding it up Ain't she purdy? And the power for the motor (Tlt pack is on the left) Group shot: Last edited by KidWithAcrayon; 12-26-2005 at 12:34 AM. |

Actually they are all degrading to african americans, Jerry rigged is acceptable. Or even Mickey Moused. But Walt may smack you from the grave or Cryo chamber depending on your belief.

Isn't "Jerry" offensive to the Germans? |
