what do you think ? :roll:

comments are what we live on

your running a 4link right ?

If he has leafs my guess is.. no.

Nice. "thumbsup" Snoop.

PaalAa.

Awesome start man. I cant wait to see it finished.

You might want to consider a 4 link, the torque needed for formula offroad will twist those leafs.

But looks great. Nice chassis they would make a great scaler. "thumbsup"

I will use the stock WK links on the first chassis in the pic

thanks paal

The 2nd chassis was more like "why not make one with leafs for my CJ8"
and maybe a trailer for the formula off-road

Glad you like it
check back

Cool i was thinking with 2 chassis you had something like that in mind.

Yes and looks great! Keep the pics coming. I'd use plastic for th ebody as that al will ball up real fast.

idk that looks sorta thick;-)

That is a great idea for the rear steering lockout. I would love to see one of our fine vendors make something like this out of aluminum.

sweet!!! I am following this thread.. I wouldnt mind putting one together myself.. I was thinking the way to go for a formula off road rig might be nitro tho... just for the wheel speed..

I have a lathe down stairs :lol: and lots o alu round stock I cant think of another way to make the rear lock .... I mean it is so easy to mount and no bulky links !!!! Right ?

thanks for all your comments and input

:wink:

It is 0.8 mm (1/32") alu sheet, bend and shaped over a steel template with hand tools,
I even did a 1 mm steel fender to see if it could be done with just a hammer
I will try and make a steel template for the grill next. It will be like a 5 mm (ca 1/4") thick steel grill that I can use again and again to shape the alu grill :-P

Hey I got some pictures you might like.. I'll post them tonight.. Give me a bit.

I think you should make it looke like this Willy

But I'm really looking forward to this build!

Thta would be cool but sorry to say it.. Formula off-road is cooler still!

I am still wondering why in the heck there arent 1:1 guys doing formula off road here in the states.... Or am I just missing it?
THe other day I spent half the day just watching you-tube vids on the subject... and trying to figure out how I can convince my significant other that we need to make a trip oversees to watch a4x4 event....

Hmmmmm.......
Where have I seen that pic before :lol:
