It be 2 morra, me see no pics??? U B slackin'.:-P

If it's going to be their rig, make them do some of the work and pic taken.

53 willys · 11-04-2009, 09:22 AM

sorry dudes....I had a comp yesterday and ended up doing so tweaking on my comp rig...I do have it as a roller at this point..but I just went to take pics and BOTH my digi cam battery's are dead..:?
battery's are charging now...pics in a couple hours.

I know I'm slacking...I hate when people do builds and then don't post pics

53 willys · 11-04-2009, 12:26 PM

I was able to pretty much just unbolt the old chassis and bolt the new T1E MoonBully chassis right up to my V2 Bully axles.
I think I have some more link tuning to do but for the most part I like where it's at right now..so I will run it and tune from there.

3.75" at the rear skid..battery seems to come in and out just fine...just gotta get some electronics stuffed in there and figure out what the heck I'm gonna do for body panels..?
I pretty much made the links I had laying around work by adding long Jato rod ends and adjusting them to length...it's just under 12.5" as it sits right now..

RCROCIN' · 11-04-2009, 02:41 PM

Looks good bro

Moon buggies are so hot right now!!

Krakker · 11-04-2009, 06:56 PM

That thing's Buggin!

Looks challenging from the pics I see to mount the electronics. Good luck.

BOWTIE · 11-04-2009, 06:57 PM

TC09minilosi · 11-04-2009, 09:46 PM

I just need body panels now and it's ready for the rocks.....

53 willys · 11-05-2009, 08:04 AM

got the electronics all mounted up!!
it was not as bad as I thought it was gonna be...it's a tight fit but it fits well and should be totally hidden by the skins.

built a real small lexan plate for the FXR to sit on...the punk dig..CC BEC all fit perfect inside the moonbuggy chassis skid!

I also built a real small lexan plate for the RX..it's mounted upside down on the rear of the chassis.

you can see the small FXR mount from the underside shot.
(now that I look closer the FXR plate is kinda hard to see.....I used the single countersunk bolt to attach the plate..I will try and get a better shot when I get the skin pics......

I still need to order the Banzai 35T's...so I still have the 55t Integys I had on my sons old rig.

JeremyH · 11-05-2009, 01:01 PM

Looking good! I'm still amazed at the close shave you gave those axles! Did you make sure to use blam afterward?

thanks bud...hey their was some razor burn at first......but now it's just rock rash..lol

:-P

53 willys · 11-29-2009, 12:15 AM

well after waiting on some lexan sheets and taking a much needed 8 day vacation I finally got a chance to finish the panels and get this MoonBully finished.
I'm gonna run a comparison test of the black vs yellow RC4WD X-locks..I figured I would make the paint scheme kinda match the yellow-xlocks and since it's gonna be my Sons rig I stickered it up with some of his buddies...

I lowered it some by laying the rear shocks down some more....still has mad breakover

I may need to use some thicker lexan up top....I was testing the roll over recover in the house and it popped the front mounting hole..
