home made durango style b3
 

i had a crack at making my own style durango buggy, ive also fitted graphite rear losi arms. what does every one think ? :rolleyes:

still pondering wat to do about a shell, ive cut down a b3 shell at the mo dnt look to bad but the shell is taky

cheers gar :D

man, that is comedy-narrow!! :p have you reinforced the chassis at all ? if its just the battery tray sides that are keeping the thing together then it probably needs some reinforcement somehow adding.
but hey, it looks cool.
For a shell, do what the french guy did and make a quick mould the right size and melt a 2L coke bottle over it !:D

what to use for re enforcement ?

what you recomend lol , dont look to bad does she lol, one of my bright ideas :rolleyes:

maybe some carbon fibre down the side ? not sure how to attach it tho, maybe just bolted on at various places.

Epoxy it, Lotus Elise style.

Is it a B3 chassis wih the sides cut off?

yes it is lol , what you recon dan ? .

ive got the shell cut down from the old car and now all i need to do is drop the speedo and servo in easy peasy !

I tell you what mate, even if it goes crap, it still looks ace! haha ;)

hope it does go well hes going to run at my club on friday so he will keep u posted

wickid !!! lol yey race it friday should go well :D ( i will be praying all this week before i go to bed ) lol

I reckon it might be quite good. Due to the optical illusion I though the chassis was very long but now I relaise it's not. Interested to see the electronics mounted. I think it might go well but not over the bumps as you're still on the B3 geometry with shorter wishbones and less wheel offset.

Interesting though, how much is the 2wd market being freshened up right now????

Slim cars are cool :thumrigh: nice job.

when u gonna bring your 2wd beast out thats bloody awesome:afro:

hey dan

im running rear losi wishbones ( graphite ) xxx bk2 ones so i can make the rear wheels wider apart, the front ones are jst standard but im toying still with idea on the shock towers and shocks, seems to be ok so far, until i start trashing rear arms ;) .

cheers gar ;)

cheers buddie slim jim style rules ! :D , now i have to get a name sorted out for the car . . . :rolleyes:

any ideas ?

The pencil, looks different but oddly nice.

rc10 b3 pencil . . . . . . nice lol


what next lmho its all good fun lol, im fitting in the electronics tomorrow after work and will ahve some pictures posted. will be racing the car on friday, and i shall get some photos and stuff ( get my dad to do that , or jimmy if he wants to come down lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol ) also a quick vid too ( 3gp only ), if any one wants to see it going that is.

cheers garry

It remains me of the peperami man on the advert lol, thin body long arms.

The 2wd project is a little on the back burner at the mo, as the 4wd has moved up a gear with work on the 07 car.

hahahahahahaahhaha great lol i liek that one i need to stiffen the chasis up a little how would you do it? ur a man of creations right :) . u built the slim 4 ;) . i know jimmy said about using strips of carbon fibre and dans little dig at lotus was a good idea too hehe but wondering wat to use there,

cheers gar ;)
