I wanna be Dave
I finally bit the bullet and did it, it started with the super and trickled to the 2.2. i retired the tube chassis to evolve to better things.
I just saw too many amazing things at ecc not to at least give it a try so, here it is..rockbound's moon buggy.
Anyway
i will be using most of the stuff from my tuber for the build substituting a few things here and there.
obviously berg axles w/300 shafts front and one off titanium rear shafts w/straight axle conversion
v11 35t motors
tie moonbuggy chassis
mamba max for now till the new novak m2 dig esc comes out
punk dig until theat esc comes out
still dinosaur radio and novak xxtra receiver
pro comp wheels in front
slw in the rear
sedonnas with nova dual stage foams
started build with traxxas big bores (slash fronts) but ordered integy msr11's that have ball end on both ends 98mm (3.5")
running tie rear high clearance derlin links
front high clearence derlin links on order
carbon fiber upper links on order
revo rod ends all around
going to use 18g wire and deans micro plugs to cut weight
rhino 1050 3cell lipo 40c (couldnt pass up the price) http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...idProduct=9608
think thats it for list of goodies.
I have to say meeting the guys from t1e at ecc made my decision to change easier. They are a great group of guys that offer all the help and insight on their chassis with no qualms. they really are a top notch group of guys and willing to help with anything anytime.
On to the chassis, all i can say is wow, they really took their time and perfected this thing, the battery tray and receiver tray attached to the skid are brilliant, the chassis has so many options to tune and move links and shocks i didnt know where to start. Thanks to mike (rockshow) and especially jim (turbofest) for giving me some pointers and a place to start.
so on to the pics
