my budget build

[xjpaddler]

got to give it a shakedown this weekend, got a few minor things to work out but over all am pleased with it.

here is a vid on one of the local trails, not the full WOT that you guys are doing but that will come with time

2 5 11 Slammer in the Snow Heaths New Rig

 

[xjpaddler]

got to get the buggy out agin this weekend, learned a lesson I will not be forgetting any time soon!!!!

while waiting for my turn on the slab, I forgot to turn my fans on, by the time I got to the top it was around 250* and climbing. couldnt get it to cool down, so ended up being pulled back to trailer. got home and it had formed an airpocket in the block. after messing with it for a bit its back to normal. I think I was really lucky this time around, and plan to wire my fans a bit differntly .

anyway heres a vid

Lookin good.. Looks like your almost there

 

[crawler1]

What color is your axles .. It looks really good .

 

[xjpaddler]

axles are silver mist, same as the skins. Hopeing that the tires start breaking in soon, they were at 2psi in the vids and just wasnt hooking up like i had hoped. seemed to do better with the snow

 

[COLT]

Man that thing is so cool! Did you get the tars broke in?

 

[blacksheep10]

a friend with PBR's on a sammi buggy runs them as low as 1 psi and has to put heat on them. They seem to work great on heavier stuff though

 

[xjpaddler]

tires still are not broke in, I was running them at 2psi in the vids and they are really stiff. hopeing they get broke in some more next weekend.

the rig is heavy for what it is, 3720 with me in it, that was expected considering the materials used. im confident that I could shave over 500 just changeing a few things. maybe on the next build.

I still seem to be going through more pane than I would have thought, going to try and do some more tuneing

 

[xjpaddler]

likeing the rig more and more everytime i have it out
