| New tuber buggy
Well I decided to start over. I built a bronco buggy a little while back and it was too heavy and just plain clumsy. So I stripped it down and built a new buggy. This one is more than half the size and weight, shorter wheelbase and sits lower. So i'm positve this will work a lot better. I also learned a lot from the last buggy when it comes to bending tube and making sure everything is square and straight. Parts: TLT axles Aluminum knuckles Fat Rock C's Stealth B3 Tranny TQ3 55t integy Aluminum shocks MOPED ESC |

the design is cool. it looks aggressive. clean it up and put a finish on it. i hope you are going to trim that rear link mount where its pokey under the chassis? other than that it looks like it should perform pretty well. be sure to make a vid |

Thanks. Yeah it will get cleaned up a lot. All the link mounts will be trimmed. I also need to make a skid for it too.

Looks really good! I am about to give my first a try, hope it turns out half as nice.

Need to add some body panels then its done. Took it out on the rocks today and there is no comparison to my old crawler. This thing sticks to the rocks and is super stable. |

| Thanks man, it definitely turned out better than my first. WB is at 12 3/4" I believe. I'll have to measure it again. The paint is just an off the shelf rattle can blue. I had it for another project and decided to finish it up. I can get the brand if you want. |
