Campbell Buggy Turecker style!

Looks like Wrecker needed to keep on the throttle to get that front end up. :lol::lol: Great pics Ty.

I'm working with JRH on a brushed setup that should put Peanut within a couple mph of your top speed. I'm looking forward to some crazy mad aired out rock racing action this season. You guys are quite an inspiration. "thumbsup""thumbsup"

Let's skip the summer crawling season and focus on the rock racing. ;-):lol:

Yeah he slammed the breaks right when it peaked out. was not a good outcome.


Yeah, that was an unintentional brake in mid air.:lol: I was letting off the throttle right before it was peaking and pushed the throttle a little too far forward.:lol: Not bad though figuring there was probably 30-40 jumps and only a 5 or 6 of them looped out or nose dived.
 
Hey I'm just wondering where in Colorado those pictures were taken...
That course looks awesome and would like to come watch sometime.

Its on our home turf!"thumbsup"
Well this is how it usually landed... most of the time.:lol:

how is it with the unsprung weight? I'm used to super smooth suspension of the a-arm go-fasts. But I bet the chassis' weight helps make up for the unsprung. Also how sensitive is it to throttle when it is in the air? kind of like an 1/8th buggy? or less sensitive? gosh I'm blushing at these awesome pics. I can't wait for the vid!

Its not bad at all. When the suspension drops out it is somewhat limited due to some binding on the end of the stroke on the chassis side of the links. everything is pretty smooth The 45 weight oil slows it down a little and its had some small springs inside the shock to give it a little lee way when it lands. This buggy is only around 4 or 5 pounds, but it is really balanced. So unless you slam on the brakes it flys pretty straight and level. AKA that first sequence jump the brakes were locked and thats what caused it to tumble.
But to answer your question simply it takes alot to shift it around in the air.
Thanks
Ty
 
My whole girl here is to try and keep it real light (less rotating mass). They way I see it Ill break less... at least less often.:lol:

:lol: so i don't think rotating mass is your problem. I think someone needs to take a driving class at the community college :lol:
 
Ah crap now I gotta build one...I'm in Colorado too. What area of Colorado?

And would it be possible to get overall layout pics of the track? If I'm gonna build a truck I want to know what I'm building it for...

If your making a racer Just make it capable of going at least 20 mph and still be able to crawl (just a little):lol:
Video should be up any day.
Ok on to progress...Broke down the buggy this weekend, got all the welds done, finished sanding and threw some paint down.
Rebuild."thumbsup"
