finnaly... NOW WITH PIC GOODNESS!!!!

well i finnaly got to drive my buggy.. I've had it for two months.. so far I've got 50 buxs shipped in the buggy.. 55 in th motor 35 in parts and 20 bux in a radio.. so i got $160 in it and i have to say its a great ride (ofna ultra gt) driving a buggy is so different than a MT i ran about 2 tanks through it today and had a blast.. i still got some tuning to do but is was great fun.. now that i got this one finnished i got a nitro sport se comming that needs work.. its a never ending cycle and i think i like it.. i think i need a bigger garage.. lol there were 5 r/c's out there today..

thanks to everyone that helped out

it is definately an ongoing cycle. welcome to the addiction. but yeah WHERE ARE THE PICS?
 
pretty soon MSNBC will be doing undercover reports on the Homeless problem caused from RC addiction......they can interview me in jail on how RCs caused the downward spiral in my life and how I should have chosen an easier less stressful hobby.........Maybe they can start protests in front of Tower hobbies claiming they are they are the largest "suppliers" of the addiction....and some hottie little reporter chick will get caught on film playing w/ RCs in her dressing room while they ar emaking the documentary.......follow her life as it spirals downward to a black pit of moneyless existence wandering the streets doing favors for a agallon of Nitro and a glow plug.....
MAN I just had some good coffee....
 
my camera was dead... but ill get some today.. there are pics of it up around here somewhere but not with the motor and all.. ill get some tonight..
 
Plaidfish - HAHAHHA, very soon I'll be begging for Nitro me thinks :p.... Would be nice if some hot little reporter chick could join me in the begging process lol
 
well guys heres tha pics.. its really dirty though.. i mowed the lot I'm putting the track on saturday and it rained monday morning, so the dead grass stuck to everything!!! :hammer: man i need a air compressor..:buggy1:

looking for a truggy conversion now lol anyone run these?? are they worth it??
 
hahahahaha have fun cleaning that, theres one thing worst than cluggy mud, its gluggy mud with grass
 
you can do a cheapo conversion your self....get another rear tower...the mounting holes should be the same as the front....2 rear shocks.....RD logics wheel extenders and some center diff elevation spacers (GS)......then get the largest center spur you can find OR spend the cash and get the Kyosho 46t spur and a OFNA metal spur gear that mounts on the Kyosho spur......all that should only cost slightly more than what you got in it already......LOL....is it worth it?????....probly not unless you know the buggy is just rock solid now......
Is your grass too much for the buggy?
 
no it runs fine where I'm at, i just like the look of the truggy conversion. i guess its just me kinda like a 4wheel drive camaro.. it just looks mean.. i found a set on ebay that comes with extenders, wheels, and tires.. ill just find a set of used tires and slide um ove the buggy tires when its on the shelf (wont be often) so it will have the look lol
 
i have a compressor but the cyclinder and piston seal went out and they want 80 bux for a rebuild kit.. its a wob-l compressor with pancake tank and i only spent $15 on it but it went out like the 4th time i used it :( i guess i just need to fix it..
 
sweet buggy man..i can't wait to see u crash that thing!!!!!.....look out for BJ..he likes to bust gas tank!!!! LMAO!!
 
hey buggy dudes are the front tires supposed to be toed out that far?? this is my first buggy so i dont have anything to compare to and i dont have a setup thingy.. but they seem to far out to me.. they look like a 2$ hooker on the first of the month.. meh maby I'm wrong.. anybody got any setup tricks?? also my center diff doesn't seem to be working corectly.. is it normal for if you hold the buggy still and let the tires spin when you gas it the front only or the back only spins? maby i needs to put diff oil in um?? dont know whats in them havent dove in head first yet.. anyway I'm sure ill have more questions after the weekly bashfest sunday.. so far there are four people comming counting me and about 9 rides.. keith you better not forget that camera again i got a feeling were gonna get some good action!! we gonna give the guys at SMF a run for it..
 
If your wheels aren't spinning then I'd fix that before you run it....first make sure your brakes aren't binding then dive into the Diff.....if you spin both front wheels does it turn the rear...and Vice Versa......have someone turn the fronts while you hold the center diff, Does it pull (turn) the diff? do the rears the same.....if it don't try to turn the diff you're done......
 
it turns the diff (the spur and cb spins) but not the opposit tires (front or rear) if i hold the spur and try to turn both front or back tires they wont because I'm holding the spur.. I'm tired, its late, ill get more info tomorrow..
 
they shouldn't "turn" freely they should hook up and try to pull that spur gear.......as long as that's trying to pull and It's not slipping you should be fine
 
they pull the spur.. I'm just used to the savage.. if you turn both fron tires then the back tires try to turn.. i guess a buggy isnt like that..
