Formula Offroad 2006

eric n · 06-05-2006, 06:15 AM

The Nordic Formula Offroad season started this weekend in sweden. I only have a few pics now but I will post some clips as well later this week!! Many drivers are now changing to air-shox and one driver from finland come with a new 1000hp chevy 540 and 4xbigger-digger tires!! This is no doubt my favourite comp. rig!! The frame is from a willys cj3 and the body is a copy made in alu. Axles are dana 60 with 35splines shafts and the suspension is King 14" coilovers with bump-stops.

There were many hard rollovers but some really amazing drivingskills as well. I will try to post some of the best rollovers (of course) but also "how to do it" drivings because I don't really think you ever seen something else but rollovers?!

Pics of some cars:

Chevy 540cid - 1000hp willys:

OffRoad · 06-05-2006, 03:41 PM

wow!
the first pic you posted of the jeep is really nice looking.
i like the loop of steel around the gas pedal so the drivers foot doesn't slip off.

what are the dimensions of the tires in the first pic?

I noticed each of those rigs are running different tires.. How do each of them compare and which one is better in that terrain ?

There are two classes: Unlimited and Modified. As you can hear the Unlimited dudes

almost has a free way to build their cars, they are allowed to use the big bucket tires - Hooker, Super Scooper, Bigger Digger etc.

In class Modified you must have a bodylook out of a serie-produced car and only allowed to use Sandtires or Paddla-Track tires. The rest is very similar to the Unlimited class.

I was wondering about that too. Anyone got info? Anyone? Bueller?

Thunderbolt · 06-06-2006, 07:11 AM

The rig with the TTB is mine.

I have left some info on the setup on a different thread on this forum:
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=475357

Just feel free to ask if you have any other questions about the setup.

JLToy · 06-06-2006, 09:34 AM

Thanks Thunderbolt. I used to run a ttb truck and realy like some aspects of it. If I were to run some high speed stuff again I would prob go back to it especially now that I see how to get around some of the week points of the set up

lttlbddy · 06-06-2006, 12:27 PM

This picture explains a lot . . . you guys use bigger rocks on the gas pedal than we do!

Big-Willys · 06-06-2006, 12:27 PM

My tires in the white willys are skat-trak bigger diggers 33x17x15. If any one
wanna hear more, I´ll be happy to reply.
P.S. Thanks for help with the oilpan, Roar. I owe you one...

scrout · 06-06-2006, 12:58 PM

Rocks? From the looks of the driving, I thought that was one of the guys balls....

I am supprised that Dustin hasn't built a redbull buggie for this and go over there and kick some ass.

TheBandit · 06-06-2006, 02:33 PM

Thanks for the pictures and the link to that video! Awesome stuff...

Anyone have the link to the edited formula offroad video that starts out with a rear steer '30s era coupe doing donuts in the mud? It shows a beadlocked wheel turning with the footage faded over it for the first minute or so. It also has some slow motion & reverse shots of one of these guys launching off the top of a burm. My computer crashed and I lost the video.
