Mid engine class 3 buggy

[holycaveman]

Yea Snake is 8" tall. Which is scale to this build. The 5" xor's are a little wide still and tall but I am going to roll with it due to a lack of a better option.

Winches are about 7th scale but it's all we have as far as options. It's kind of tricky building something to scale.

I refuse to put a driver in any of my rigs, nawt gunna do it :ror:

I say, leave the panels raw and throw a few well placed stickers on it.

Yeah, I think my driver is 8-9 inches tall too. Way bigger then most 2.2 "drivers" people use.

However he looked the most scale for a single-seater comp buggy...

Great job again!

Yea I used to think the driver was gay. But then seeing a truck drive around with no driver is gay also. LOL

So i do it for the -4. This driver is heavy though. So he is going on a scale Jenny Craig.

All real scalers have drivers! Looking great my man! Can't wait to see it in Colorado and meet you.....I'm much nicer in person "thumbsup"

BTW, I think that would look good with a silver chassis and charcoal gray panels, especially after a few weeks of driving it. The scratches showing through will look awesome! Add some sponsor stickers and you're set

I would let it rust! Maybe even accelerate the process with some salt water. It would be a neat looking way to represent Ohio. Land of the rusty vehicle.

Haven't really done much. Ordered a set of proline flat irons. Will see what they look like?

Found a sweet crawling spot today. In this short little vid you can see how sinch ing the rear winch makes a big difference on approaches.

Also got some .185 slw hubs. So with the skinny hex's I am officially at 10 1/5" wide.

 

[josh6575]

That looks like a good crawling spot. Thanks for letting me run your rig. It was a lot of fun playing with the rear steer.

 

[holycaveman]

I have your a couple of your tools laying on the floor. I will bring those back to you.

Check out post 83.

Yea I saw that. Pretty neat idea. I just bought .185's though. Their spacers may work though?

 

[holycaveman]

Possible ttc!

 

[holycaveman]

On a similar note I ordered a new set of tires for this buggy. Hopfully will look much better.

 

[holycaveman]

Just a cool crawling spot I ran across.

 

[holycaveman]

Not much new. Not digging the xor's. They work decent. But looks are not the best.
So i picked up some flatirons. Look awesome! But 4.84" tall is even too short for me.

So i figured I would make it around d 5.3" tall.

Much better. Still need to shave the sidewalls.

Gabe and Pete loved the Flatirons, Kelvin and I thought they suck.

 

[holycaveman]

They seem to do better than the Pitt bull xor on rock. And that is my main concern.

The xor's are just ugly. They don't look scale.

Soon as they hit damp dirt, they're done.
