You're ****ing kidding right?

Sorry, but the above response needed a full post to itself.

Anyway, you're rig looks real nice. I'm digging the black chassis too. Get some vids of it soon.

OK, maybee not!

I deleted my previous post after realizing (sp) there is a *sticky* for posting pictures in the Small scale crawler forum, But I was slightly confused cause it's listed as "Scale Crawler Archive" My Bad.

Maybe he only has the outside C-clips on it? or none at all?

I don't think it's a buluesque chassis. The only thin it has incommon with a bulu is the verticle trans and the bulu wasn't the chassis to use it. So I think it's original, called the "Contender"

sicj · 07-18-2005, 06:56 PM

yes, the "quick-change" is not having the inner e-clips, but I did keep the outers. I also cut a small piece of nitro fuel tubing and put them in the axle stubs to prevent the axle (dogbone) from sliding out too far and possibly binding.

rckjeep: I said bulu-esque cause the Bulu inspired this chassis. I guess I said that cause I made this to conqure the bulu rigs (even though never seeing one in person) but a picture is worth 1,000 words... It is original, hardly any chassis = good. I was at one of the Nor-Cal comps and I think it's right up there with the bulu chassis-ed rigs but my driving is something else

Thanks for the compliments. Since those pics I turned the tires back around and cut the center blocks a little and added some rear shock towers to raise the angle of the shocks. The rears were layed down too much, little too much twist and unstable, but it's all fixed with the towers. Everything else has stayed the same, solid performer. Now I want to do a themed TLT tuber and TXT tuber built to resemble real 1:1 rock buggies. Closer to the TXT since I have all the major parts (tranny axles, wheels/tires, esc...)

thanks again
