And i doubt I'll find it so amusing when the Alpha Gorilla slams into you again, lol - i'll come off worse Edited February 9, 2015 by Zombi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusherjay Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 it would sound cool with your metal bumper hits the cage lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I had a feeling it was going to articulate quite well, but when I got to the actual picture I literally said outloud '[naughty f-word here] hell fire' That's impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusherjay Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've done a bit more to the cage today, got the suspension mounts done and the rest of the main cage not sure how to do the bumper yet though other than that it's almost there just adding D link points and a few brackets to hold the rad and lights then it's ready for paint Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusherjay Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks guys my welds just keep getting better so can't wait for the next build Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusherjay Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Got some goodies coming for it thanks mark for ordering them Some currie axels an offset front and a centred rear Also bagged a set of Mip drive shafts Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusherjay Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Also ordered some plasticard so I can start to build the interior once all that'd done I can finish the cage. I'm going to wait until the front axel comes to finish the front of the cage as I don't now where the servo is going yet Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusherjay Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Started the axels Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusherjay Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Fitted the axels to the cage and with a centre bumpkin diff I can use straight top links which should be better, also put extra spring on the rear shocks to help with the extra weight Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusherjay Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Took it for a test drive on Sunday and bloody hell it's good I thought with the extra weight it would struggle a bit but it proved me wrong it jumps better, handles better when driving over bumpy ground, crawls good too over all a success. Roll on the next build Here's a few pics Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeze Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Total respect for scratch building your own cage and especially for turning out something that awesome on your first go. You said its heavier what does it weigh in at now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeze Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Guess the epic amount of crush on the tyres isn't just really soft foams then! Is the cage made out of solid bar? Looks it on the photos but difficult to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombi Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Aye it's solid bar. And he was saying how the steel only cost him about 7 quid in total. Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeze Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Metal bar, 7 quid but skills to turn it into something looking that good, priceless 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
