Fat Dog
 

Well I got myself a Fat dog tuber a few weeks back. It just got back from powder coat today. It's a transparent yellow green over the top of chrome. The pics just don't do the color justice. Still trying to decide what I am going to do for body panels. I have been tossing around the idea of carbon fiber.

Specs as of now
TLT axles cvd's in front
Airtronics 94357 with metal gear set
8-32 links sleeved with carbon fiber arrow shafts
Pede tranny with Integy 55turn
MSD beadlocks
Rock Claws

Still in the future
Add 1/2" to rear links
Brushless setup
Dig
bigger servo

Wow, sure is purty!"thumbsup"

Nice, I love that color!
I like that rear upper link mount, so simple and clean looking. Nice touch on PC'ing the upper link mounts."thumbsup"

i like your rear link mount. simple and clean "thumbsup". nice color too.

Ok guys I need help! I asked my wife but she was no help. I am getting ready to cut the lexan and am trying to figure out how I want to do the body panels. I am leaning towards the top pic. Also what do you think I should do about the area under the hood? One other option I am thinking is bringing the roof down a little further kinda like a visor. Please post your thoughts.

I like the side panel in the top pic, and definitely bring the roof down like a visor, would be much better IMO.;-)

Love the color! I personally like the panels better on the 1st set "thumbsup"

that is 1 sweet looking tuber man... I also think you should bring the roof panel down like a visor too..."thumbsup"

Garbage...:lol:

Looks great, you can also make a panel to go under the rear shock mounts and definitely do visors on top front and rear;-)

I like the first option, and I say bring the roof panel down a bit and make the visor.

I knew I should have bought one of these :-x

Got body panels done tonight. I was thinking of using lexan but instead I went with sheet metal. I was looking around at homedepot and saw the metal signs like the ones that say no parking or no trespassing. Thought they would work good so I got one and cut it up then covered both sides with carbon fiber vinyl. I am very happy with how it turned out I just need to get more black zip ties since I ran out.

wow.. this thing looks great!!!! colors are sweet! now get that powdercoat scuffed up!! :lol:

Looks fantastic, love the color combo and the "CF" panels."thumbsup"

That Rig should be in a magizine it's so awesome. Great job Bud top shelf all the way "thumbsup" "thumbsup" "thumbsup"

that rig is a beauty"thumbsup"

Thanks for all the complements.

just my opinion but you might want to check your skid clearance. You should want at least 2.5" of skid clearance. I run 2.6" of clearance and only rub on a couple of the obsticals that Naz-T and Bob had set up at the last free crawl we had out at Blackrock. which is where the next comp is .... But I agree that is a sweet rig...:)

That looks so f'n sweet"thumbsup"

I need one! What the deal are they still making them and if so who's best to contact about it?

WOW sweet rig! what did you make the reak link mount from? looks great. what is your skid clearence at? please post some video.

The rear link mount I designed and built. The ground clearance is at about 1.5". I am afraid it might be to low, but I am not gonna change it till I drive it and see how it does.
