Zuk buggy build (1 Viewer)

[der kampfer]

So ive been collecting parts and prepping stuff for the buggy this season and now its nice enough to start putting them on. I plan on trying some comps with the buggy so needs a couple mods to follow the rules.

Got my buddy to sew up some bitchn seat pockets for me.

Then sunday afternoon the buggy went into surgery to modify the chassis. This was just to satisfy Werock rules.

So this is what a front flip down a 20' ledge will do to 1.75 .120 wall DOM.

Did your passenger need a clean pair of shorts?

Did your passenger need a clean pair of shorts?

no passenger. if I had one that day I woulda made them get out before trying that line. Hardest impact ive ever experienced. Crumpled the roof panel and ripped open the DOM as well as broke the starter from shaking the contacts loose. Harness and cage design did what they needed to do. Didnt hit my head. just a lil sore in the neck and arms.

 

[Wrench]

Wow. Were you wearing a helmet?

 

[der kampfer]

no helmet but with the Harness and the cage design there is no real risk of hitting my head.

 

[Wrench]

Yeah but if you do comp I think they require you to wear one.

It was in Warren NH. These guys do a mud bog up there and wanted to run a rock crawling comp so invited a handful of ppl to test the terrain before their comp. I got bored with most of their course and was trying to step it up a bit.. Learn the hard way.

I now have a warm dry place to work on my buggy so I'm tearing it apart and freshening it up a bit. Most exciting change is this.:

 

[Wrench]
