| krazykrawler's sandrail
anybody that knows me,they know i like doing tube frames.While an it looking on RC4WD i found a four seater sand rail that was designed by John Boyer,the price tag was 200.00 and i knew i could build it myself.But dont get me wrong,if you cant do tubework then definitly look them up as i am not trying to take their business away.anyway i started with an old rustler i bought used.The front end is traxxas jato and the rear is rustler.Then brazed the frame from 3/16 brake line tubing from Oreilly auto parts.The body panels are mirrored styrene from my lhs.The decals are from auto zone and they are for a full sized car,i just cut them down to size.I installed the traxxas waterproof velineon system,just in case i ever get it wet at the beach(hmmm i smell a vacation comin)The wing is a jconcepts illuzion wing 5.5 inches wide .the leds are functioning from traxxas summit.Ive only ran it 3 times in front of my house,i hope to open it up soon for some speed runs.
