oh ok i thought it was a full on bash session but testing is perfect for prototpyes like that and you have inspired me to make a project. im thinking of a front wheel drive 1/8th scale truggy electric. i have the plans down and the part list almost fully done.

[SnoopMaxx]

Sounds cool mate, I'm glad I could inspire you
Oh and here's a short video

hey man great video that buggy can take some abuse you built it very well

[SnoopMaxx]

I got the Losi XXX-SCB rollcage and body today, and I'm amazed by how close it is to my steel cage, when all I had was a few photos and measurements curtsey of Matt Sunderlage


I knew my cage was wider than the Losi cage, but it's very close in shape and length

The Losi cage is assembled

[rcbeginner]

so no more steel cage but at least you would have a body now

[SnoopMaxx]

Bin messing with the Losi cage for my SRB buggy
I had allot of ppl asking it that cage would fit on the Rustler or Slash so I bought the cage to answer there questions ..And when I tried to order it from Horizon ...I GAVE UP trying to register ...Then I remembered Amain hobbies and in just under 5 min I had the parts ordered ...I tell you there's a big difference in online shops regarding how easy it is for a guy in Denmark trying to order from America

Testing with standard rear shock tower








Then I redesigned the rear shock tower to accept the rear part of the Losi cage
This could also be used on the standard tower, just cut it below the bottom cage mounting holes and bolt it to the rear of the standard tower








Next :
Mounting the Losi front bumper, Or can I use the `Pede bumper





Oh Sorry for the long reply ...Have a great weekend
