damn that's dope!!! i've thought about doing one of those legends like the 30s sedan model for a crawler.

I am all for a light weight rig but when it comes to supper light weight why not just get a side by side?

because they are fucking junk, go read a SxS forum. They are full of posts like 50 miles on my trans and it cracked, factory frame cracked in six months, broke the reverse chain backing out of a hole, 4WD wont engage after three rides, etc.... especially when several models cost 15-20 thousand dollars, I can build a pretty nice mini crawler for that kind of money.

Cool mini crawler, would like to see better pics and specs.

I guess i'll play... all made with stuff that was getting thrown away. Minus the nitros. Its not done, but it drives.

here's my build thread http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showt...ghlight=johny5

Its a collaboration of a Honda 400 street bike engine, and a 1954 crosley transmission, sami axles and jack shafts. The trans has been the "fuse" so far as for what breaks.

I can pick it up though.

This would be the way to go in my opinion, but I am a fan of Samuria's. A linked Samurai, with those axles, 35's, and some drivetrain upgrades or replacements.

Pull the air shocks off mine, and im about 450-500$ into my pile... But I own 3 zuks as well, so im a fan of Suzuki.

rhetty · 07-12-2012, 05:40 PM

plenty of pics of tiny buggys but not many of them wheelen. here is proof that they can mix it with the 40" tired buggys

adamwende · 07-13-2012, 03:04 PM

Rhetty, Whats the specs on that thing? Looks bad ass.... Edit* just found the build thread. cool buggy. Hows the auto holding up?

rhetty · 07-13-2012, 04:53 PM

thanks. auto is holding up fine athough it was a bit tired when i put it in. have got another one to swap in that has a plate in the centre with a hole in it. im going to tap athread into the front shaft to stop it pulling out. as it has happened a few times. it is ver annoying caus it loses the aito fluid when it happens. other than that, the whole thing has been pretty unbreakable.
