wow, its been awhile since i've updated this. i agree that i think it looked stupid up so high with the small tires. when i went to lower it, to get the height i wanted, the chassis would be sitting on top of the axles. so i went ahead and built a whole new chassis. with the new height straightened out, i had no front or rear clearance under the bumpers. so i trimmed up the bottom of the front and rear bumpers. it worked much better at that point but the plastic wasn't up to the task of handling the rocks so i cut more plastic away from the front bumper and made the aluminum bumper thats on there now but im not happy with how it came out. so now i got a tube bumper bent up but i havent had a chance to get it put together yet. i think the new height is much better. also i made a winch and installed it in the bumper. here is a vid of it pulling a jug full of water. the jug has about 5 or so litres of water, just an idea of strength. thanks for looking |
