andy's rc10 buggy custom build

[discgolfer72]

parts started pouring in for this build

should be sweeeeeet



front bumper may be left out
still waiting on andys truck front and rear bumper/body mounts
and still trying to get a good shock setup

wanna go kinda old school so the pink and white theme of the losi shocks im digging

[raserx08]

Should look real nice I was thinking about that body but I might go with the street stock camaro.

Are you going to run this in a Bomber class? I'm currently modding a B4 for that class, but since I have a spare McAllister Camaro that's what I'm using. Where did you locate an Andy's buggy chassis? What is the Andy's number on it? Looking for one for a sprint build.

[GoMachV]

The seller is a member here but he lists them on eBay every once in a while. Just go to ebay and find the andys bulkhead and look for his other items often.

[discgolfer72]

yea he just listed another one its in my watch list


i opted to use the standard bulkhead as at 30$ its not worth it to me lol


scratch that nothing listed by him anymore

[scr8p]

it's also a truck chassis. 5/8" or so longer than a buggy.

[discgolfer72]

no different than running the goldie at the long front position

and perfect for the longer bomber body i picked up lol

[scr8p]

he wants one to cut up and mount a sprint car cage on it. simply pointing it out.

[discgolfer72]

oh ouch no i would not cut one of the andys chassis up i dumped 50$ on mine lol

im sad im using up my last vintage proline front rims on this thing


need to find some front tires to fit the rims
get some bearings for the front rims
then its just playing the waiting game for the andys body mounts
and alum bell crank

oh and wait for the stupid hobby store to get the damn 3/8x5/8 bearings for the outdrives on the 6 gear


anyone know how they did a rear motor guard on th e andys chassis there is no mounting holes

[SoAzRC]

he wants one to cut up and mount a sprint car cage on it. simply pointing it out.

Yeah, I do, but I'm going to wait in the faint hope that I may find a damaged or previously "modified" Andy's chassis. No sense doing the damage myself to a beautiful thing...

[discgolfer72]

sounds to me like you shoul dbe lookign for one of these

[discgolfer72]

parts fairy has blessed me again today




got the bearings and tires installed
for the fronts i went with
proline #2523 rims , and losi #7231 slider tires

and the rear
rear traxxas #2474 bandit rims .with traxxas #2470 bandit soft compound tires

[kaiser]

mind me asking why so much shock/travel for a bomber?

[discgolfer72]

its a shelf queen i dont plan on running this one
it would be a shame to mar up this new in package andy's chassis
and since its designed for the 6 gear really not a good runner anyway


i wanted to build a andy's buggy
but since the chassis length is longer the regular viper buggy will not fit

the andys kit is actually meant to convert the old gold pan to a monster truck(it was released before there were really any st/mt on the market)



local hobby shop has a crap selection for bodies (only buggy body is a stock b4)
and only truck bodies are traxxas crap

so i ended up going with the chevy body




with that said i had to use a duratrax rear shock tower and its a tad tall so ill end up swapping it out for something a scooch smaller so the body will mount flat

[discgolfer72]

man i kinda want to cram a stealth on this thing and run it
the suspension works like butter and its sooooooo light




all done with tthe chassis (justa bit of adjustments on the turnbuckels)
i went old school on this one and just used 4-40 threaded rod
