Hey Guyzz it gotTS lyke Mass Tons of FLEX! :lmao::lmao:

 

[country_crawler]

Dang! You sir have a very nice rig coming together! Can't wait to see it all finished up!

 

[muddauber jr]

Really likin the way it's turnin out!! Can't wait to see some video of this thing! "thumbsup"

 

[MG200]

Looking good blakeski "thumbsup"

It was nice to meet you at the OR vs WA comp. What wheelbase are you setting it up at?

 

[Bulldog]

Lucky SOB is right. Can't wait to see it all come together. That chassis is just art. I don't wan to be there when you try to stuff all the running gear in though!:lmao:

 

[Team_Jason_RC]

Man you know what would really suck ? If TC retires his rig and builds a new one. But this is one bad rig. Only thing now is to build a trailer and hauler for it. Well only if your into scale like I am. This truck has amazing workmanship. I would be scared to even scratch this if it was mine. Guys like y'all inspire me to start welding. I don't thing I could EVER build something like this but at least do a Exo-cage or just some tube work here and there. Like somebody said you set the bar high. I would like to see somebody beat this. Sick truck man.

Well TC did sell his rig and is in the process of building a new one as I speak. But its still an awesome rig and will always be one of the most popular southern buggies of all time. Congrats on the receiving that chassis and do it and muddauber Jr justice and make it as bad a$$ as possible.

getting the elecs and stuff will be a chore but there is more in store for this rig than whats show, other parts need to be finished up, i just wanted to get it back on track and see if people were still interested in this build"thumbsup"

That rig won't be forgot. It's hard to forget one like that. Like you said....if I was crawling with that bad boy I'd instantly realize it's the TC buggy. Heck build one like his new he will have built. Have his hole line of trucks on your shelf! Hahahaha. I'm sure his new rig will be good to. Is essentially offroad building this one ?

I wanna know what the new TC rig looks like.
I'd love to be the first to build it!!

I haven't been able to find anything about what his new buggy will be or who it will be built by. In all honestly he's dabbled with a few different companies. Fat Girl, Jenny Craig & Moon Rover were all Cole Works buggies. Hell Raiser he did his self and Showtime was Jimmy Smith Motor sports. Check out this vid.

I watched it last night actually. Hahaha. But reason I asked is cause I didn't know. I thought essentially offroad built all of them. I've always new who he was and his current rigs but just now gettin' into who built his rigs and that kinda stuff. Are those all southern companies ? I know essentially offroad is in Tennessee if I'm correct.....

 

[Dezzy]

hey nice build.8)

 

[blakeski]

other small update.. lifes busy and stuff, we all know how that goes!! lol

got the shocks all done and put 30w oil in them.. maybe have to tune them later with a different weight.. but heres is showtime at ride height(without eecs and other goodies)

still some minor binding that i may have to take care of.. and also thinking of behind the axle steering on this pig!

flew shot!

and from the front

let me know what you guys think"thumbsup"

 

[theloudone]

im just waiting for someone to build it in 1/5 scale

 

[JasonInAugusta]

I'm not a fan of the spaghetti buggies, but I can appreciate the work put in at such a small scale.

Great work on the chassis, jr!

Blake, you've gotta keep the bar high on this build. :lol:

 

[ngward79]

Looking sweet Jr! You need to give your shock springs the fat chic treatment and paint them black to make them look skinny.

EOR is from Tennessee and all the other manufacturers I named I believe. I do know for sure that TC and the Tanner's are from Tennessee and most other big named drivers. They primarily run their rigs in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.
