the green machine!
 
Ok, i had the intentions of doing a big build thread, but it was one of those things like, "oh, i will get the pictures after in finish this part, well, actully after this part, i might as well wait till this part it done". one of those, so, finally got a mark up of it, hits 12 1/2 wb on the nose, and with plenty of ground clearance. it will be a full droop setup, using savage x shocks. this is my first tuber that i can have the motor and tranny horizontal, and im happy with it. so, here ya go.

so you built this chassis? or what kind is it? thats awesome you can lay down the trans inside. dosent stick out like my widow =P awesome look tho love how u put the body on a lil."thumbsup"

gearmonkey23 03-04-2008 10:18 PM

yes i built the chassi out of brake line tubing, and brazing it together. ya, im gunna have the body on there, for a "prerunner" type look or somthing. i am still debating on going with a semi scale look, i have a tool box, scale drive line, scale jumper cables, and some interrior junk. just deciding on if i wanna go that rout. the motor and tranny dont stick out at all actully, its a perty wide chassie. im looking at somewere between 4, and 4 3/4 inch of ground clearance, so its gunna be up there, so i had to have it layed down to compansate.

nice!! i especially like the flag on the front "thumbsup"

well, i was in the midst of mounting links today, and i ran into a HUGE problem, the links are two short, and the links mounts are to high up, i need to mount the bottom links lower. also, the axles twist side to side, so, i dont know. i just threw it inot my room in a fit of rage haha.
