Looneybin: got_demo's Southern Buggy "Outkast"

[Got_Demo]

So I have this waiting for looneybin to finish up the tube work.

Only waiting on a servo and diff covers, undecided on both.

Wow, I like the clearance! What is that about 4.5"? Just throw some 8 inch long shocks on it and it should be perfect!:lmao::lmao::lmao:

Looks like a quality set of running gear. I'll bet you're salivating seeing Looney's progress. Good luck!"thumbsup"

Paint will be a dark candy red, you can see a bit of the color on the beadlocks in the picture.

How much do you expect the ride height to change once you mount the shocks? It looks like you're at full droop there with the servo tucked in. Servo on axle too right? It looks good. Plenty of tubes! I love the roof configuration! "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

 

[looneybin]

Thanks. Yep the front is at full droop, but the rear will still go down a bunch because he is not running rear steer. The buggy should ride about where mine does, but we will see today when i add the shock mounts. That tube can be raised if needed. I like the buggy alot. Actually got me thinking about cutting the rear end off mine and re doing it.

 

[Got_Demo]

Lookin good! Added a few more goodies tonight.

I have to say though, if VP is going to change the output shaft style they should include the proper set screws.

I love those shocks. They seem like they are working good on my buggy. I should have the chassis heading your way this weekend bud. Its gonna be busy week. Think that 4 pole is going to run good. I just got one in a exo and thought about trying it myself.

I might need some measurments on that servo mount for the shifting. It looks like its going to get into the back of the chassis. I might can incorporate a servo mount into the frame. How far does it stick past the upper link mounts on the skid. And how high from the link mounts is it.

 

[Ricochet]

Your using 1/4 tube for the rails and 3/16 for the peg ?

I will measure it up tonight when I get back to the hotel. I was thinking about altering it a little as I dont see a need for a full size servo to push a dig lever. Should be able to cut the back mount tab off and use a servo clamp to hold the front ears only.
