You're entitled to your Opinion! That isn't the first time I've heard that, though. If you were around these buggies for a day, you would be in love with the sport.

500-800 HP on Propane
10-15 ft of air under the 4300lbs buggy after a jump
Loud as hell coming up the hill
All of the amazing fab work and what products are all out there to handle all of that power

and more!! 8)

It is an awesome buggy. Still has alot of Showtime in it too. The only reason why Timmie got rid of Showtime was because he couldn't fit a straight drive T-case under the chassis.

Dana 80's SON! Those knuckles are forged 4140 (I believe) Chromoly. :shock:

I bet you though, Timmie will break them.... some how.

how the hell do you get in it?

i was really suprised to hear the weight! a comp buggy weighing as much as an SUV. over 4000 lbs.

the bump stops on the front bumper are unique.

 

[CREEPERBOB]

Needs the weight to keep it on the ground :twisted: with that kind of power. The axles alone probally weight 1/4 of that and the tires another 1/4.

Its a VERY tight squeeze ;-) I noticed that Game Changer definitely has a tighter fit than what most buggies have.

Those bumpstops are a serious piece of technology.. They have progressive dampening.

You're right about that!

I'm not totally sure with what is in the tires, but the Toyota F-Toy guys put some water in their tires for better COG. I'm sure that most of these rock bouncer buggies just air them up.

I have been following Tim since Fat Girl and love his buggies the new one might be the best so far everytime he does a new one its better . It will be fun to see how this one holds up to his driving style

I have, see them all the time in dresser and AVF up here. I love the sound of them and it is amazing the abuse they take and how much they can launch them considering the weight, but I have seen so many videos used as ammo for the enviro-nazis around here to try and get trails shut down and you wouldnt believe how much it sways opinions. I try as much as I can to battle land use arguments and fortunately, the enviro-freaks tend to make themselves look like idiots. Again, I am not hating I know how much effort goes into those things. I am building an XJ right now from the ground up and I have probably 30 hours into the front axle alone as it sits so I can appreciate all the fab work. Just not my cup of tea.

 

[Die-Laughing]

That thing is the coolest buggy I've seen. Very nice. "thumbsup"

 

[Shaunkjar]

I'd love to build one of these! The only way for me to afford it is to build it to scale. I've been admiring the builds by Colewerx for Tim and Game Changer looks like the best yet!

Those are Ouverson units. They should be somewhat Tim proof. Dennis Anderson has the same C-hub setup on his King Sling mud truck and hasn't broken one yet.

Did you see the video of its first rollover yet?

 

[Meatwad]

Saw that a few mins ago, entertaining stuff.

I sure did. I was also there when it happened. :mrgreen:

Full Chromoly inner and outer knuckles. 8)

Dennis bought Showtime's old axles. IIRC, it was a reversed 14 Bolt with Rockwell outers with RCV axle shafts. King Sling is nuts!!!
