All finished and ran through the first tank for the engine break in.

Dude, that is THE BADDEST buggy I have EVER seen! I don't think I can be your friend anymore. The jealousy is just too overwhelming!

Nicely done sir. Nicely done indeed.

Now... I wanna see a shelf that will fit on

LMAO, thanks man, I really appreciate it. I am so thrilled that it's finished.
I actually still have one more aluminum part coming in Monday. It's the spur and pinion cover.
I also ordered another radio so I can run both of them with my son as soon as he gets back to Idaho.

She's a real beauty for sure! If I wasn't a hard core electric guy I'd want one. She is super sweet, thanks for sharing all your progress.

By the way, are you building a second garage?

 

[Greywolf74]

Now I want a 5b lol

 

[Tunedfrog]

Thanks guys, there is a few bugs I need to work out with it but I did get finished breaking the engine in.
This thing is so damn heavy that it takes is awhile to get up to speed and she isn't very fast but she is a shelf queen.
I'll take it out again before we start getting bad weather and tune it a little more.

Sounds so good. A 5B or 5T are the only non electric I have had on my radar for a long time. I watch them on the market and have almost pulled the trigger a few times but I think about having to drive a ways to find open dirt to run my vorteks in. Nevermind the space for one of those monsters.

Beautiful buggy you built.

Sorry I missed your post @FJC_GUY , I appreciate the comment. I ordered a exhaust pipe two weeks ago and still no word where it's at.
The connecter that ties the two parts together blew out and I couldn't find it so I ordered a one piece exhaust.

 

[FJC_GUY]

Haha, no worries.

Did you ever see the 5B that had 4 brushless quad-copter motors hub mounted? I remember watching a clip about it from a rc convention several years ago and thinking it would be pretty insane.

I can't find anything about it now. It was a concept I believe. Maybe it was just something that looked like a 5B.

 

[Tunedfrog]

No I haven't but sound pretty damn cool.
