Introducing: The Struggy!

[MrNanoTrax]

ok so... i made the word up.... but, it makes sense. its my stadium truck that's been modded (i guess thats what you call it), to look like a buggy. eventually, i'm hoping it will perform like one and ultimately translate into some wins in this class.... anywhere, here she is.... its now a bump start, it has a CF chassis, steel spur gear, upgrade a-arms, upgraded shock springs (stiffer for rough, 1/8th scale tracks) and now.... a sweeet RB v12 engine & tuned pipe.

*edit*... oh, i forgot the Spektrum DX3 radio and servos!

Nice ride there but wouldn't softer springs be better to soak up the bumps and ruts?

[Mr X]

looks very nice. i noticed that you used a jato as a base. your chassis looks different, is it custom made or did you buy it somewhere?

[k£v!n]

very nice!

Are the A arms alloy for gpm plastic?

jumps on 1/8th scale tracks are huge and stiff springs are required to prevent bottoming out.... believe me i tried the soft springs and took some serious damage... i've got the repair bills to prove it

the chassis is CF and it was purchased on eBay from HoleShot Engineering. its a HUGE weight savings over the stock chassis. the A-Arms are from RPM... about the same or maybe slightly heavier than stock but they came highly recommended for thier toughness and trick look
