BRing it to TDS, then we'll all sit around and heckle you while you desperately try to build it!


It's the Toyota way ya know ;)

[muppetz3]

So a formula toy is just a toy frame, engine/tranny/t-case and axles with a tube chassie?

[Lemoore-on]

Cool, I'll be following this thread. What did you start with? looks like a second gen truck. Are you guys gonna use the Toy pedal cluster? Floor Pan? C'mon man details!:flipoff2:

I have discovered that this is exactly why all my builds take so damn long. :D

Keep the updates coming, I can't wait to see it finished. :D

ya, its for a spec class to run toy frame, carb 22r, stock toy tranny, toy cases (regearing allowed), toy axle housing/knuckles (upgraded axle shafts allowed), 4.10 and any locker for the stock third, and leaf sprung suspension. i think i got most of it but check out www.formulatoy.com for all the details.

im sure many people will be building though just cuz its an inexpensive way to build a trail buggy without having to buy the tubing, design etc even if you may have all the tools to do it your self.

[desertoy]

Who's rig is that Erin??

[4RnrRick]

Rusty can you tell us what springs/amount of lift is shown in that second picture and what tires??

Thanks......

[CronusTRD]

Sweet...

Look forward to more pictures.

[Aaronn]

This is my friend Erics buggy(elcornus on the board) he started with an 84 standard cab..I think he will be using as many of the parts off is truck as he can to keep it affordable..right now he has chevys w/add a leaf and 89 rears in front...I think the chevys are going changed but as of right now he's happy with the front...probably no more picture worthy work untill this weekend

[KC_JoNeS]

Looking good. I think I might be dreaming about a new chassis here tonight.

See what happens when you don't check the board for a while cause your trying to get your junk built. Someone starts a thread about the junk your building! :flipoff2:

Many:beer: :beer: :beer:'s for rustyPOS for all his help and knowledge in getting this thing done!
And for letting me build it at his house, and for keeping me motivated, I'm gonna let him be the first to flop it!

We will try to keep the pic.s coming :D

I'm gonna let him be the first to flop it!

Kinda funny that I met Marlin(Played fetch with him on the spider lake) yet I've never met his owner Air Ride.......?!

Thats typical. I'll show up some place and everyone says "hey its Marlin", "look theres Marlin" and "cool, Marlin is here". Then some time later "hey, who's dog is this anyway"

[elcornus]

More progress pic's coming. Maybe tonight?

[Aaronn]

a little more work done

radiator/hood bars...radiator still needs to be mounted

[Aaronn]

motor mount..1"down 6"back

[luvmeye22RE]

So that frame bolts right to the vehicle? And I was actually going to buy new fenders, hood and build a flatbed. Screw that I think I found a new option. eheheheh

it's not bolt on.....it's weld on ,still a good option though

[Wilson]

Can you take some measurements for us?

-ground to bottom of frame?
-ground to lowest point on tcase crossmember
-ground to center of crank?
-tire size and psi?

I like the radiator hoop, looking good.

[Aaronn]

shock mount bars (minus the mount:D )

27 1/2"
25 1/2" for now..still waiting to rotate rear pinion and check drive shaft angle and raise/lower if needed (hopefully raise)

34 1/4"
38.5 X 14.5 @ 12 psi (guess)

[overeasy]

Thats close to mine
27
27
34
38.5's with 20
I was thinking of lowering it a 1or 2.
rusty are you sticking with these #'s
Wilson what are you shooting for?

[Wilson]

I'm at:

28"
24"
29"
37" MTR's @30 psi

I'm looking for comparisons mostly. I have formula chasis #004, but I am building a rec buggy with it. I'm running a 350/sm465. The 465 is killing ground clearance, but I should be able gain some back by clocking the toy case. One more comparison q, What is your top of cage height? I'm at 71.5"

[Aaronn]

not sure yet...nothing is set in stone yet,exept for the location of the motor front to back

[Aaronn]

I'll blow some holes in it with the torch later to lighten it up a little

[Aaronn]

almost forgot :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

[SpLiZaaT]

Nevermind about my original post. Is there a reason that you decided to go with the hendrix Xchassis Vs the Toy Formula chassis?! I plan on placing my order soon (if i can make up my mind) and I am not sure which one to get, although I do plan on mounting it to the frame of probably a 1984 toyota pickup. What are the ups and downs of both when mounting them to the 1984 toyota frame?

[camo]

forumla toy welds to a toy frame and uses leaf spring suspension and a X chassis is a full tube chassis that requires a custom 4 ling and coil overs. they look similar but are completly diffrent setups.


if your gonna use a frame then you want the formula toy

[SpLiZaaT]

but why'd he use the xchassis and throw it on a frame? I must have missed somethign :(

[Dustin]

He didn't use the x chassis, He used the formula chassis.

If anyone wants to help a un-wealthy cripple get his rig done,

[toyotaboy]

Get er Done..... i think its taking so long just cause your too lazy... might come by sometime this weekend, got a new project to get your imput on..

[elcornus]

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that working 4 day (9hr)
and 5 night (15hr) shifts made me lazy. My bad!:flipoff2:

I won't be there this weekend, or any other, cause of my work schedule. But that's soon to change, I hope.

So, why don't you just forget that little project of yours, and help me get mine finished in time for the Jambo?

[Aaronn]

how come your not still here working on it?? thought you didn't have to work till 5 :flipoff2:

[toyotaboy]

well im not going to be working on it too much untill i find a motor... so maybe i'll try to help in someway...find something for me to make in my shop class so i can get some points and you can get your buggy done:D

[elcornus]

Can you make the plates that money is printed from?
I could really use it!:flipoff2:

Can you make 56", 5"lift leaf springs?
Well, your no help!:flipoff2:
