Do I see an airbag!!!!? that thing looks really!!!!!!!!!!!! heavy!!!!!. hats off for something different to build. good fine

 

[YotaOnRocks]

I've seen that and this other one that looks like a spider before. I think it has been around for several years now. Definitely thinking out of the box

Somehow, I don't doubt that. I bet a TON of money went into building it tho.

This is so daggum old. I think I was still in high school when this came about.

didnt that use honda hubs or something like that.

that story is old. i think i have a peterson's mag that has an article on that thing, i would guess its from atleast 99 if not 98 or 97.

 

[ncgamedog]

looks kind of like the warthog from Halo...

It may not do, or fit a profile that most of you think is cool; but I bet most people couldn't begin to build that, let alone creatively hatch that idea. Seems now adays most just follow the popular tried and true trends. Thinking like that is why we enjoy things like flying ect. ect. ect. I'll bet the builder wasn't to serious on winning major crawling events. Even if he was at least he had the balls and talent to produce something so "out of the box." Anybody know how to get more details on that thing?

 

[YotaOnRocks]

I have been trying to find something on it but have no idea what to search it as on google. I remember seeing some videos of it a couple years back but can't find them.

 

[bowtieman55]

I posted the magazine article a year or so ago...must be in the archives now

 

[Ron]

It was on one of the TTC events video with an in depth build segment.

I agree it was bad azz (The guy actually detailed the entire build on....PBB maybe?) and a great design, just crappy execution.

 

[jeepinmatt]

I remember it was unbelievably heavy, and worked great at car shows, but not so much at teh rokrawlz.

[rockcity]

I think I'd rather have an expensive ordinary USEFUL rig than an expensive unique useless rig
