tamiya monstertruck with fighting buggy susp
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2017 1:05 pm
ok i have this nearly complete fighting buggy chassis that i picked up a sand scorcher body for recently. now im also looking at buying a clodbuster or montster beetle.
so i am wondering about building my own monster beetle with my {sand scorcher and fighting buggy} parts. the front end on the srb chassis is a ball joint wrecking SOB. i mean its fine for 1 car / but keeping ball joints in several srb chassis is very expensive and huge labour.
so it will be a fighting buggy rear end / a monster beetle front end and wheels/ with a sand scorcher body.
opinions wanted? what do you think?
--
only real problem is the gearing as it sits. it had 3 inch wheels going up to five inch might not work so perhaps i need different wheels and tires. kind of a big problem.
--
then there is the money... i need shocks and wheels and tires and a front end....?
