Default 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.

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.

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.
