2WD buggy build

[madmax]

As i have seen alot of you have been duilding your own buggy's, so i thought ide have a go my self.

so hear is what i have done so far.

1. i found a company on ebay selling carbon fiber and bought a sheet. it is a 1.8mm matt finnish,



2. i have decided to use the rear end of the Kyosho lazer zx-5 and at this point i has unshure on what to use as the front end.



3. I did find the carbon easy to cut with a metal jigsaw bit. and due to the thinness i have used i will probabley use a top deck or at least a a streanthening beam down the center.
I then decided to use the front end off a B4 buggy 'thanks Jez' and cut it down to sute.



4. Now i have done this i shaped the front of the chassis to fit my buggy.





One of the Guys from southport club will be machning the bottom of the B4 front out buy 1.8mm so it wrapps arround the bottom of the chassis and givs a smooth 'belly'. that is what is next to come.
here a a couple of pics of the layout i will be uing for the buggy.





as i do more i will put the pics up and keep you guys informed on the work in progress.
