Lil Digger Truck - ECORS Stock Racer Build

Need to find some 33's for this beast. Those 29's just look off with so much tube. Regardless, badass.
 
even if I simplfied that design, we're talking about maybe two sticks of tubing, which is a difference of 60 or 70 pounds for a substantially weaker chassis.... The amount of
tubing in this rig doesn't bother me at all and as far as my.motor goes.... I've problably already got the smallest engine in the field other than a samuri or two, and thats all I need if its super reliable

I'm just joking around about the tube/engine, btw. envious

Just picked up some worn out goodyear 28's today.... I wont have time to groove them until after this race so im not even going to mount them yet.... Hope I never even have to break out the bigass mud terrain 31's.... But definably saving them for wet races
 
I never even thought about how I was going to fill the fuel cell til about 3 hours ago.... Starting to find the stuff I never pondered on

I think its so cool that I can actually use scrap metal that I found on the floor thats all fucked up on a build, and get away with it.... Haha thats what happens when your budget is, 'i dont know how this is even going to happen'

When I get my internet back up on my compter I will fix all these dked up pictures or maybe ill figure out my new phone and do it but anyhow....
For anyone that keeps up with this thread and is racing the auburn race, I hope it gives you a warm feeling inside that at this moment I still have a cracked transmission and my rear diff leaks and my rear leaf springs arent the same and my jack isnt mounted and my I have no plumbing whatsoever and I have not tuned my shocks and my chassis isnt welded yet and I have no wiring and the foot pedals arent where I want them yet and most of my shackles are bent from the last rollover and I have about 8 body and interior tabs tacked in and no gauges yet and no fluids whatsoever and no testing whatsoever.... PHEW!!!!
But feel sure that I will be there with saftey covered and ready to smash rocks...:Rockon::Rockon:
 
I ran out of welding wire:confused: and while i've been doing other random things with this digger, I took the shocks off and did some things with the springs and I can pull up and down on the rear with my hands and bounce the rear tires off the concrete about 4 inches.... Should be great to work with:bounce2:
 
Most of the time I consider myself tough or whatever but I think I had a tear roll out what that molten lava burned through my glove and got ahold of my trigger finger.... Hope it doesnt afect the gear jammin:flipoff2:

No dog dicks on this digger.... Thats just what happens when you dont have time to do a chassis flip and you have ti weld upside down.... Wish I had so quality time to build this thing.... Everything is just as fast as I can after work....
 
My hoses and fittings arent all the same color because the warehouse wasnnt supplied with all the stuff I needed..... But I am plumbed!!!! Got to run a clutch line and a battery cable and this digger is diggin!!!! Still waiting on body tabs to show up and two new U bolts cause I stripped them:confused:
