He won the first koh with the solid axle moon buggy. Not the OG race that JR and Randy won in the bronco, but the second one.

Less typing, more wheldering. Deadlines are looming. People wanna see you pull this one off. They can go to buttpirate if a IFS/SA car debate is necessary. :drinkers:

sorry David, i wasn't questioning your build or trying to start a ifs vs. straight axle debate......so is this going to be raced in ultra4 or is it seriously supposed to be a trophy truck?

like this ? i'd love to see a straight axle rig try to hang with this mofo

In the desert yes but in the rocks there is no way you will ever get traction from a ifs to be better than straight axle

did you happen to catch that ultra4 vs. bouncer shootout in hotsprings, AR last year?

No worries, didn't think so. Thanks for asking.

The evolution of Ultra 4 racing has always been about the mix of rock crawling, and desert racing. Although it's heart is in Johnson Valley, it has been moving it's evolution east. The races are getting longer and tougher.

Trophy trucks are built to be a bill board. The are big, nasty loud, and bring high horsepower. Suspension is it's milk, and dares you to drink it. They are equipped for dooms day, and designed around unforgiving toughness.

^^^^ this is my definition of a trophy truck, and my model.

The ability to show up at any race, east to west, and perform at the highest level on a Carter Racing budget is the goal. The suspension will out run the motor on any track when the right knobs are turned. The driver and the steering will be the Achilles heel in the desert. Consistency + finesse + brawler. It's in the mix.

^^^^ this is the vision, and why it gets the name 2xRT

And as for the short course track. Bring on more. The weight of the truck that will keep the tires in check through the desert can be shaved in 10 minutes. The entire truck will tunable.

Is this is build thread or a soap opra? I just started TIG welding and keep watching this for pictures so I may possibly learn something, but its just a bunch of yacking about IFS vs Strait and U4 vs Trophy... Wheres the build pictures!?!?!?! :dunno:

Been two weeks since thread was started, we need to see some build pics. How far along are you on the steel? You can't drive a computer model. :flipoff1:

In two weeks, I would expect you to have most of the chassis bent and tacked together.
