Finally made the decision to build myself a F-Toy, been reading on the board for a while but if there is any suggetions im open to them. I no im a noob to the board but been wheeling for a while and have built 5 other rigs but this is the first F-toy. Thanx 4 ne help....

Got a chassis or got 1 on order? That would be step #1.

Not yet, getting my sas, gears, tranny and frame done first. One step at a time..

sweet another east coast guy!!!! they are growing fast. i hear there will be double the number of ftoys at the next werock event.

as for suggestions. building a buggy takes alot longer than building a truck. so take your time and dont rush.

Cool post up pics when you start the build. if something wont work people will let you know. are you going to do comps?

Hobie can show you what not to do... :laughing:
j/k

Not sure about getting into the competition yet. I think I might get into some of the east coast comp's once i get it straight.

Have always just wheeled for fun but the comps sounds awsome to get into... Show ya how we do it on the east side...j/k. hahaha:flipoff2:

Sounds like a good idea. My point was that it not as easy to get a chassis over here as it is out West. I'll pm ya my contact info. Get in touch with me sometime soon and i'll let you know about availability and what not. You gotta at least build to comp specs so there's potential for another rig out here. It's lonely being the only Ftoy at a comp.:grinpimp:

I would get the chassis ASAP. We're been building a lot around the chassis and would have needed to change many things to work wih the chassis had we built without it.

yeah I am gonna build to comp specs so i will have that option.. more then likely i will be getting into comp when she's all done.

I couldn't agree with you more.

we went to Chattanooga there were only 2 f-toys there that i saw

Pardon me, but WTF does this have to do with this thread?

maybe referring to this post? :D

You definetley need a chassis to use for test fitting. Moving the motor, wheel clearence, and shifter clearence are just a few reasons I have needed my chassis so far.
