Looks awesome. Gonna be a tight squeeze through that little blue door in the back

It reminds me of a guy that built a boat in his basement.

ive been using "Maxima racing oils fork fluid 235-150 15wt" works good on my buggy.

So I'ver been slacking on updates..but def not on the build. Past 2 weeks:

Added more triangulation to chassis
mounted battery,trans cooler, other etc.
MLK 3 day weekend: Nate and I mounted up the motor. I also managed to jam a piece of steel into my forearm which slowed us down for a couple hours. 9 stitches later we were back at it.

Ouch. How did you do that?

Nice battle scar! Buggy is looking good!

Super glue works.

 

[Medic83]

Are those massive wheel spacers in the front? are you running those to run stock length axles??

 

[rapovt]

looking good Brendan. Can't wait to see this in the woods

Super glue works.

It does...just not as well. I find superglue doesnt hold as well on skin that moves around alot. + i was due for another tetnis shot.

Are those massive wheel spacers in the front? are you running those to run stock length axles??

it is a stock mini truck in the front ifs in the rear. normally ppl run a 1.5" spacer in the front to even up the 55" mini to the 58" ifs. I wanted to run wheels with a 2.5"BS. The raceline monsters only go down to 4"BS so.. I swapped the 1.5" to the rear and got 3" for front. viola! an evenly matched set of axles with an effective 2.5"BS.

Got to test out the cushy seat and pretend-drive it yesterday afternoon. Nice work so far, Brendan!

 

[Wrench]

^ Where you pretend driving through the devils bung hole at Gretchen's? LOL

Update: All the structural tube work is in place now. I am just filling it in. mounting accessories n stuff.

Narrowed the grill.


Then Nate swung by and said the bumper stuck out farther than it needed. So.. had to chop it.

took 7.5" off. Now the axle is the frist thing to hit.

Hood installed


It was worth the work for the extra approach clearance
