| Further Description/Back Story | I love old school RC ideas and trying to recreate them to see how they would drive. Once I heard the story of the FF style buggy I was hooked and I jumped on Soldiworks to design it. I use a traxxas drivetrain so I wont have to worry about the gearbox and just focus on the chassis side of the design. from the start I wanted the rear to have lay down shocks like the original FF buggies so i made sure to utilize that in the design. the central tub is one part to keep it as strong as possible and it has has held up well after 3 packs driving at RC madness. It is very sharp on turn in and also on breaking the rear lift up. My first time out I ended up flipping over the front so to prevent that I added some stick on weight to it so it wont flip over. It jumps great and it is amazing out of the corners and is able to corner faster then my Losi 22 buggy. It was a Fun project and a lot of fun to drive. |
