Trx4 sport truggy build
 
I CUT THE BED OFF THE SPORT TRUCK BODY....
the little brackets are a bit of a problem, so aluminum plate extends upon the back window, oh well.....

To turn the battery and keep it inside the cab and low as possible, I relocated the electronics.....

Looks interesting. More sack then me when it comes to cutting stuff up. Could you bend the piece of aluminum going up the back of the cab to tuck inside the window?

The little 45angel brackets incorporated into top edge of the bed side and the back of the cab have to be trimmed off....So the aluminum plate has to extend up past the window to cover it.....

I like what you did with the bedsides on this build.

Forgive my ignorance... why do you guys call certain trail trucks truggy's? I know truggys as 1/8 race trucks...

Truggy: truck buggy truck cab buggy rear. Applies to any size vehicle

I was still curious so I read the rules. Adding a back cage doesn't qualify as a truggy. Entire rear section needs to be tubed with integrated shock mounts and a roll bar.

I was curious because I just threw a back cage on my Sport. :ror:

Yes you are correct. A true truggy would be rear tube chassis with shocks mounted to the cage. No rear frame section.
