Badlands Wasp Chassis

InDaShop · Dec 22, 2007

I've seen a couple of the 2 seaters and liked them a little bit, but I just saw a single seater for sale on PBB. And damn I really dig the lines.

What was the deal on them? Didn't whoever build them quit to go do something completely different or something?

I dig the door bar treatement.

jesse haines. he was going to shaffers and then troy offered him a huge raise to stay. that's what it said on his myspace anyway. he might have moved anyway.

Jesse Haines is at Shaffer's, check their torchmate build thread to see what he is doing. Badlands closed down (the machine shop not the park).

I thought that was what I had read, then I went to his myspace and it said he stayed. that is why I was confused. Oh well, he is now with a bunch of like minded and skilled peeps at shaffers.

And I saw some pics somewhere that I think one of rob's buddies bought that single seat Shaffers chassis and was wheeling it at Tuttle in the past couple months.

I dig some single seater action, too bad you always seem to need or want a rider.

If it wasn't for Lori, I would be in a Single seater right now. I tried to get her to wheel my jeep and me get a single seater but she didn't like that idea. :'(

that's why I leave mine at home

for 13K that looks like a pretty decent deal. lights and shocks look like they could get damaged pretty easily is all. A single seater would be ideal for me dammit!

I saw that buggy pictured up in Tellico when we went up there on the fourwheelers . VERY nice lil rig man and the chassis is awesome !!

Yeah Levi thats who it was. Wasn't that buggy around $20k? I looked at it everyday on PBB for probably 3 weeks, before deciding "NO" a single seater will not work for me.

Killer rig.

I found a pic thread on Misfits that has a ton of pics of a WASP single seater in Moab.

I'm totally digging it.

EDIT: AND Holy **** its a small world. OK. The dude that originally owned this rig had it built at the Badlands. He's from Michigan. That would be the exact same buggy in the Moab pics above. Then he took all the parts off of it and sold it to build a 2 seater. The 2 seater was the sister to my buggy. The guys built two at the same time out of their garage side by side, mine and this one. Crazy!

Digging that rig, the Single Seat WASP in GA is super cheap. I am thinking of going the single seat route and keeping my rig. If I had the cash I would be all over this single seat in GA

InDaShop · Dec 29, 2007

Couldn't agree more $13k, and thats before negotiating.
4.3 Vortec would make that thing come to life. Its 60 and 14bolt. That is a cheap good rig. Only reason it probably hasn't sopld yet is cause it is just a single seater. They suck for everything but actually wheeling.

Tell me that don't look bad ass

KELLY!!!!

The far buggy is mine when it had the 4.3.

Sorry somehow found a pile of pics on the misfit pic archive.
