Thanks guys! I'm trying to get a short video to upload to YouTube of my first test run. It's going REALLY slow! I'm very happy with it!
That's the custom truss I thought up. This buggy is the first one to get them.
think youll start selling them? i really would be interested in buying a couple sets.

Good video, I'd like to see it in the rocks and dirt too, just seeing it crawl the curb it looks pretty balanced and very capable. Do you have the same gear ratio front and rear or did you overdrive the front? It seems a lot of the southern buggies struggle to keep the front down on any real incline.

I did 43/13 gears in the front and back. I am going to try to add some weight to the front somehow. It'll do a wheely despite being somewhere around 10lbs!

It's very close to being done!! The only thing I still want to do is add shifters a motor and a radiator in the back.

Lol i live in Yorkville Il aka Dorkville. lame little town haha, but it has to be the single most accurately scale build ive seen atleast as far as the way shocks mount and how its all laid out and well made, with the steel fule cell and just all the awesomeness in it.

I got it out on the rocks yesterday! What an amazing rig! It handled better than any RC I've ever had! With the combination of weight and setup, there were only a couple of obstacles that I couldn't get over. The only real issue was that 3 out of the four shocks started leaking bad. I went ahead and rebuilt them all last night and it should be good to go now, I hope! All in all, it was a great shake down run and I have absolutely zero complaints!
I had to put thous last 3 in for the ones that said I was building a shelf queen! LOL! I got it dirty AND it got scratched! [emoji2]
