I decided to start a long awaited 4 seat buggy project with a H1 body I picked up a while back. Kinda like a scorpion theme going.

This is what I started with.

widened axles for the wide a$$ body.

Got the body all chopped up.

Chassis started...

Let me know what you all think and thanks for looking.

looks nice, how did you widen axles?

MGCrawler · 03-10-2011, 05:33 AM

Thanks, I used the BWD wideners and chopped the wheels up to make them a different offset

someone does a hummer justice.

Keep it up.

When I opened the box my qlos came in I got a big smile on my face because I knew just where they were going to end up.

I got some time to work on it today and got two steps back and one step forward. I opened up a rear door on the body and didn't like how the rear cage hoop fit the door opening. With a few snips with the side cuts and some dremeling I started again. I like this design better anyway so oh well on with the pics...

MGCrawler · 03-17-2011, 05:11 AM

Thanks guys, I'll get some more pics of the link setup for ya.

Seven - Its all 1/8" styrene tube put together with plastruct bondene and zap a gap. Its actually surprisingly strong.

MGCrawler · 03-18-2011, 09:22 PM

Its finally a roller! I've just got to hook up a steering link and the front driveshaft as far as mechanical to do's. Still got some tube work left and then for some diamond plate, wheel rings and paint.
