Time for a rebuild with a new prototype Fubar Chassis.

[Red Rockcrawler]

I started my 1st Fubar build in Sept of 2008. It has gone from the Fubar Skeeter to the Skooter. Now for another Prototype chassis with a 1 off skid plate for me.

I have picked up a few sponsors through out the years and trying to rep them the best I can and by going to big events has hooked me up with some really cool vendors that I have been buying product from and sending business their way.

My original build: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134598

Specs:

Prototype Fubar Chassis
T1E Bent Lower Delrin links (modded by MTHead)
Maxamps 2000 mah 3c
Castle creations mamba maxx
Berg axles
Holmes Hobbies 35t motor
Fubar Lockouts
Super Dave 300m CVD's
Super Dave 300m Wheel nuts
Punk Rc Dig Controller
Castle BEC
Losi Shocks
Hitec hs 7950th
Vanquish Dirty Harry's Pro comps
Hot Bodies white dot Rover's
Vanquish High Steer berg Knuckles
Fubar OTA servo mount and steering link
Nomadio Sensor radio
Robinson Racing 12t and 13t pinion
Body is being painted By Brian Bodies for the rebuild.

I will be trying to retain most of my Rock smith Ti Links or order new ones.

During the rebuild every thing will be Cleaned and Lubed using Cow R/C Products.

As it sat before the rebuild.

Got the parts Thursday when I got home from being out of town all week for work. Had to work today also. I will be doing the change over after sunday we have a local comp on sunday.

Wife has stuff planned tomorrow. So not enough time for me to get it all changed over before sunday.

But will be done before the PNW qualifier in goldendale.

Sweet! Looking forward to hear how you like it. "thumbsup"

 

[SMOKEY]

That thing should be done already! There's no excuses you take that time when your normally sleeping that's at least 10 hours of build time in the last two days. You can sleep when you die:twisted:"thumbsup"

What was the mod MTHead did to the rear links? John - don't make me drive from Anthem to your house to have you do it to

I've got two chassis' sitting on the kitchen counter now. One for me to replace the Skeeter and the other to replace the Havoc / Bully combo for Sally.

I look forward to seeing the rest of this build.

I had him round the corners on the bottom of the links so they would be nice and smooth and blast them like the chassis.

Last night I broke in my 300m cvd's in my drill press and started to disassemble the front end for the new cvd's and Vanquish Knuckles.

As soon as I put my berg on my Cow r/c Mat it spilled the guts out of the front axle.

Have the long side of the 300m cvd's and Vanquish Knuckle and 300m Hex.

Both sides done and my ota steering link hooked back up.

After our local comp tomorrow I will start the chassis swap.

Here is the Custom 1 off skid that I had made for my rig. Plus you can see the work that was done too the T1E links.

Looking forward to this build like that steering setup who did you say made them and what was the cost of them.

The steering was a fubar set up done about 2 years ago.

Alot of stuff on this rig has been a prototype or a regular for sale item from Fubar Crawlers.

I try to be a good salesman for Fubar Crawlers for all of you. That is why I have a vendor star also to help John when he needs it.

Where's the *UPDATES* slacker? Oh yea you need a light box for your pics cause they suck and don't show detail verry well!!!

 

[Red Rockcrawler]

Well with our comp finished and some family time done the last 2 days got to do some work on this and get it ready for the TCS Goldendale qualifier.

I had to find my wheel base jig so I could set up the chassis. Will have to make a few adjustments after I take it out of the jig for the new push down rule.

Stripped the scooter chassis off of my berg.

Got the T1E rear links installed and mocked up the shocks.

Picture of my one off skid plate with links hooked up.

Wow! Now that is what I call lower triangulation! Why keep the chassis so wide with the lowers so narrow? I like it!"thumbsup"

Thanks Brian. Can't Wait to see it.

I got it in to roller form tonight. My aluminum tech stick says dead on 12.5 but I know not every tech stick is dead on or made the same. So I'm going to shave my rear links 1/8th of a inch so I have room for tech sticks out of whack.

Brian got my paint done. I got a "thumbsup" from heath of cow r/c. So when it gets in will be a mad rush to get it mounted.

Here is pics:
