Homemade rc buggy build - part one

This video shows how I made the rear suspension on my rc buggy. I still need to make the universal driveshafts which is going to be a bit of a headache without the use of a lathe. Also, the hinge pins and upper tie rods in this video are only temporary, and will soon be replaced with stronger components.

More updates will follow shortly so stay tuned :D

Aslo one last question... did you have to make custom drilled holes through the weels... the axel seems a bit larger than usual...

thanks

[fingalickenchicken]

No, the axles are the standard 10mm diameter 1/8th scale buggy size, so I'm able to use any of the 1/8th scale monster truck or buggy wheels...I'm not sure if they will be strong enough for this application though lol

hey man... me again... i have to say i am extremely impressed with all of your work... Very good job!!!... just curious with this project... Wat stops the small axels in the bearings from sliding and falling out?

[fingalickenchicken]

Thanks alot man.

The axles will be held in place by 2 small pins that will be inserted into the axle on either side of the bearings.

[TimmerBella]

looks good....

[mrmanleedude]

looks sick! i wanted to try to do that but not enough time or the resources to do it. the only thing i would have to say is that the shock mounts look a little weak. i might be wrong but from that angle it looks that way. anyway!looks great and keep me updated with vids
