Bulldog's Screamin 2 Southern Buggy

Thanks guys, the hardware MRJOSHUA is from rc4wd, scale hex bolts. Super scale, super small and a major pain in the a$$, but they're cool!:lmao: I only need to install about 600 of them in the next week. Oh the things we do for scale. I hope to have some real updates by then end of the week. Axles back, mockup and then get this bad boy running, painted and ready for a video and final reveal. Can't wait."thumbsup"
 
Here ya go Gregg. You know what this means.

While I can certainly appreciate the humor in this...you're a couple degrees off!! First off, my Dually and the trailer are too small a scale for this buggy. I could do it, but it would bug me. Secondly, this rig is going to be built up pretty, take some poser shots and then I'm going to do my best to get a KILLER set of vids. Since I've already driven it, I know how nice it drives, and it'll be a blast. Stay tuned!

And Thanks Clay for posting up the pics. I didn't have the energy to head to photobucket tonight. I Know build I'm working on tomorrow! 8)
 
I did the same with my rig. Got it together, took plenty of pics, took it out last weekend and whooped its ass. Broke the winch, lost a wheel and Eddie from Crawler Innovations launched a back flip off the top of his rock pile. They are only shelf queens for a hot minute. Then its game on. Plus, you can't beat the sound of heavy metal housings slapping the rocks.
 
The Axles are home!

Parts day! It's always nice seeing my postman with a package in his hands.

First off, Thank you Clay for the stunning work on the axles. They look like they were born this way and couldn't be cleaner. On to the pictures. Sorry about the light, it was a cloudy day in San Diego!

Can you say, scale packaging!

I got everything mounted back up and with a few tweaks, it looks like it should work.

Much better in the proportions dept.

Don't anybody bitch that the pumpkin is on the wrong side!

I've got to tinker with the 3 link mount, it's a little narrow for my rod end. I also have to make a new 3rd link, the one I have is just a hair too long.

So, I've got some more tweaks to work out. Shortening the axles throws off my shock setup. I'll keep you posted with the progress. I want to get hot on this...it's been too long! Thanks for looking.8)
 
What is your track width now. I didn't get any measurements before I sent them back. Looks great under there and glad everything got there safe and sound.
 
not to point anything out badly.. you can just flip the axle over.. and then flip the diff over inside.. since they are made to be front and rear. "thumbsup" other then that it looks nice

Not to point anything out badly.. you didn't read or notice the change in the axles then. They are custom built housings machined for the front and rear. He would have to do a lot more than just flip everything over.
