Re: BOLINK DIGGER BUGGY NEW
How does the gear cover attach to the motor plate?

Re: BOLINK DIGGER BUGGY NEW
it gets held on by the axle and the 2 screws that screw to the motor than the outer cover just slips over it, it should be double sided taped but has a nice tight fit.

Re: BOLINK DIGGER BUGGY NEW
Dang, mine didn't fit very well but that's how I did it as well. I figured they wanted you to drill for a screw near the axle, mine warps there.

Re: BOLINK DIGGER BUGGY NEW
I could imagine it'd be pretty much like:1300GT wrote:I love the simplicity of these early buggies. How are they for durability?
"Snap a chassis? make a new one"
"snap a front plate? make a new one"
"break the rear pod?... get to the bomb shelter."
I don't know for sure, but that's just the funny way I was thinking about it
I had no idea that buggies like this existed!... I may have to make myself one. I am a huge fan of simplicity, and reduction of failure points.

Re: BOLINK DIGGER BUGGY NEW
Well, I'm guessing an offroad chassis devoid of any suspension won't be too durable, except on smooth asphalt roads. Simplicity? Sure.1300GT wrote:I love the simplicity of these early buggies. How are they for durability?

Re: BOLINK DIGGER BUGGY NEW
That turned out great, hugger! Good thing it won't encounter any bumps on the shelf.

Re: BOLINK DIGGER BUGGY NEW
Back then the buggies were pretty slow and the tracks didn't have many jumps so there were not many broken parts other than steering linkage.I love the simplicity of these early buggies. How are they for durability?
