Official build thread: Riot Buggy Rock bouncer

We tried to put up a NSFR rating....

Incredible machine man, nicely done for sure.

Thanks everyone!

The suspension looks perfect but I think you need much softer tires with more 'bite'.
That video is almost enough to make me take something outside to play. .....Oh, here's my dog.

That explains what that loud painful sounding wail I heard earlier was. Must have been Rolex when he saw it flip over the first time and get dirty. Looks good could use some more bite with the tires but looks like a blast to drive.

 

[bobaloohoo]

Yeah Rolex, I actually put some softer springs in the riot yesterday and bought crawler innovation 2 stage foams with soft outters. Waiting for them to arrive!

 

[HPIguy]

Rig looks like it performs great, nice video. Also, CI double deuce foams are the stuff for a good all around mix of crawling and bashing. I still want to try out the dueces wild foams on a faster rig though.

I have a bunch of proline powerstroke shocks coming in tomorrow. 4 90mm front, and 6 100mm rears all with spring tuning kits. A dynamite touchscreen charger, zippy 2200 7.4v Lipo and scale jackstands

Ordering another bouncer chassis... This is getting out of hand

 

[SMaxxin]

Great build man, it looks fun to drive too.

Looks like they're more like potato chips: you can't do just one...

 

[bobaloohoo]

Ya can't lol. I'm gonna give this one to my son and build another, another build thread here in a few months!

 

[hamz9561]

Yeah, I'm thinking about doing another scaler, but haven't decide which direction I want to go.

 

[bobaloohoo]

Did some modification to the chassis, drilled holes further forward so my wheels were sticking forward a little more and the rear are a little more tucked now. Now I don't have to worry about hitting my chassis on anything that's 90 degrees in front or back I think it looks better too. Will take a keen eye to see the difference!

 

[Rolex]

It looks great, but why didn't you clean it?

 

[bobaloohoo]

Good question... I might clean it tomorrow after I run it. Got a creek run tomorrow!

 

[Greyryder]

Good question... I might clean it tomorrow after I run it. Got a creek run tomorrow!

So you can clean it, while you run it. Brilliant!

 

[bobaloohoo]

Yep! I'll probably submarine it and full throttle it in and out if water to simulate a power wash lol.

 

[Rolex]

Can I watch?
