out with the old and in with the next one! Cant post pics cause im a newb if someone can post 4 me ill e-mail em to ya. anyway, built this one today.this is the 6 tube chassis ive built. this one uses a land cruiser body by proline. novak traxxas ESC, TXT shocks all 4 corners,dual batterys, 4wheel steer with 3 channel,
tie rod and drag link behind the front axle. uses a radius arm front suspension( similar to rubicon express kits) with a panhard bar. the rear is a wishbone 3link set-up with bent lowers. front knuckles are rotated so the motor is up out of the way. so the caster stays normal. the chassis is 1/4" ss tubing .035" wall and completly tig welded.

the next project is going to use a bronco body by hpi. tube chassis as well.will use TXT axles with tig welded gears, useing a hpi savage motor with a water cooled head and custom made radiator, and exhaust.custom beadlocks, 4link rear w-coils/3link front w-coilovers and 4 wheel steer. in put appretiated.

Freaking sweet!!! After building my clod crawler on a Gecko II chassis, I want to build a tuber. First bicycle frames this summer, and then I am sure I can build a tuber. You have done an amazing job.

Rikpal · 02-09-2005, 09:25 AM

Very cool

I can't decide if I like it more covered or naked.

goldmember · 02-09-2005, 02:03 PM

Nice custom work. Looks just like a 1:1 buggy!

pinkfloydman · 02-09-2005, 02:13 PM

very nice dude and the paint on the chassis looks sick!!!

JasonInAugusta · 02-09-2005, 02:57 PM

Beautiful frame!

Who did the powdercoating?

I have a frame I'd like to have done, but looking for someone to do it.

DT-FABandMFG. · 02-09-2005, 11:18 PM

I just painted it with a rattlecan. no powdercoat. thanks for your complements guys. the goal was to make it look like a 1:1 rig. which reminds me i need to get back to my real buggy project.

rckjeep · 02-09-2005, 11:36 PM

That thing is awesome. The back doesn't look quite 1:1 style but it's sic none the less.

Mikey007 · 02-10-2005, 08:42 AM

That looks sweet! Very nice job.

Mike

DT-FABandMFG. · 02-10-2005, 01:04 PM
