I'm gonna hold you to this, you better show up next year....

This Old to New buggies perform so good, Imma run mine at this year's big race at our track in Limited 2wd Buggy...

Btw,

That thing looks awesome, the green bits on it stand out very nicely.

this is just my personal opinion.....

unless your chopping the tub sides down so you can slam the body, i wouldn't use a 10t rear tower. all it does is stand the shocks up (a lot) and doesn't give you the ability to lay them down at the top if you wanted to.

as for the front, again..... just my opinion.....

the truck tower just looks out of place on a buggy. i'm sure it works just fine. but so will a shorter one..... and it'll look better. fiberlyte has front worlds towers, and there will be another option available for the worlds front end sometime soon.

but no matter what, a buggy or 10t rear tower would use 1.32's, and the t2 or worlds front tower would be 1.02.

Thanks,

The two pans are being shipped out tomorrow for some machining , Im getting them cut down like Jake's Old New build in my showroom, Im also having some custom nose tubes, wing tubes and battery tubes made up (they should be unique, I have not seen any done like this yet lol (Hope they work).

I might go with the worlds towers, ill have to see after i get the chassis back and all mocked up to see how everything works, But it looks like i can use the same shock length for both setups. That helps a lot lol

[scr8p]

if you end up going the worlds tower route on the front, all you'll have to do is add some limiters to the 1.02 shocks, and cut a couple coils off the front truck springs.

[Seabass]

All the parts are done and going back. You guys should see some activity now from William.

[nvxwax]

Im just dieing with anticipation for my chassis to arrive, Fingers crossed for today

[Seabass]

Dang now I feel really bad

They are on thier way William...

[nvxwax]

Lol, no problem Jake

[nvxwax]

Well i can start work again

Thanks Jake


Here are the two chassis i am using for the builds, One is a new chassis (Shelfer) and the other is a little used (Runner)

As you can see, I have a thing for GREEN

I hope to have one mocked up this weekend and maybe a sample tomorrow

[Charlie don't surf]

I'm confused, what are the green things?
