On the nose!

A bit heavier than I had hoped for, but I went super HD on everything when I could.. there's alot of 1/4" plate on this biotch.

Neat thing is, half that weight is unsprung. The coilover springs are holding up 1000lbs on the front, and ~900 on the rear, + whatever the N2 charge supports.

DFMORSE.. pm me your address..

I'll be back Sunday night. Off to harlan, KY!

400 lbs heavier than my 40 with a full body and 60/14bolt/2f

Rockwells are heavy bitches!!!

Eskimo · 08-09-07, 04:39 AM

and still lighter than a few others I wheel with still on Toyota axles...

You must have done some good weight savings on your rig, because my 40 with the body, SBC, and Toy axles weighed about what yours does.

Mace · 08-09-07, 09:34 AM

lol

have you seen my rig??

I'd hesitate to call that a full body...

does that include the 175lb/tire of water?

wngrog · 08-09-07, 02:10 PM

Wow, only a TON more than my rig.....

Mace · 08-09-07, 05:02 PM

I was amused at the people estimating it close to the weight of the bash buggy

Yup, and it's mostly unsprung weight... very stable this weekend.

I was running around with a lightweight (2650) buggy (Toy 22RE/5-speed/cruiser case/F&R steer Toy axles, 42" IROKS) at Harlan, and there were some things he just spanked my ass on and would just scamper up.. Some other things I was able to make up for with power and wheelspin. I definitely had him on off-camber stuff though.

Mace - me too

is Nolen even supposed to be in this forum with the buggy?

HI^C · 08-16-07, 04:01 PM

I was under 4200 with the guess as well, where you packing the extra 4-500lbs ?

wheel tire combo and axles are right near 2200 lbs, i got 2140 approx with the hydro stuff.

rock front 675 lbs complete with no brakes

Eskimo · 08-16-07, 09:25 PM

Front rock empty might be 675, but the hi-steer arms are heavy, so is the ram mount. the spool weighs a good 5-10 lbs, link mounts are all 3/8", brake setup, etc.

205 t-case also, but other than that, I dunno where the weight came from. I used ALOT of 1/4" plate though. Cruisers are just heavy bitches, I mean, I was 3900 with the Toyota axles & minitruck t-case.

Tell ya what, if I ditch the front bib/bezel, that heavy SOB is probably 30 lbs on its own!!

UNBREAKABLE · 08-16-07, 09:36 PM

It's big...but I like it
