| Client Build: Creeper Clone
Long time customer of mine contacted me about cloning my "Virginia Creeper" and after a fair amount of discussion we got the ball rolling. Here's the beginning of the journey. I will detail all the various mods as best I can to give you all some insight into how I work. Whenever I do a project for someone I always step it up a notch. This build will be put together with proper fasteners and a lot more attention to detail. Should be interesting...stay tuned |

Got down to the creek with my girl child and we had a good time. Spent the past hour or so cleaning the rig. Nothing broke so that's a plus. Got a slide show video coming up on my super high tech method of cleaning the creek off the creeper.

| Custom Chassis Created: Regent 120U
Had to get this chassis perfected before I could tear into the RS10 XT and finally around 9PM after one helluva long day I got to put it together and have a look at it. 1/4" Lexan, stainless HW, Revo Ends all the geometry is worked out for 120mm shocks, 95mm uppers, 130mm lowers. Shocks can mount direct to axle or to my plates. |

| Re: Client Build: Creeper Clone Hey thanks. Venom shocks. Got them on eBay. Come with two sets of springs and mounting HW. 4 Shocks for $24 is my kind of deal. Seem to be decent. Not a lot of damping. I think they could use a fill with some 40 weight...just guessing.

top links look like they are diving down. have you thought about extending them? seems like you can get a smoother resoponse from the suspeninsion and some increase in steering by clocking the axel.

Since I will not be live testing this clone I have no input on whether parallel or pinched is better on the rocks. Thanks for the info. | |
