Feral scrapbuild.

[Dirty_Vinylpusher]

While I'm waiting for some parts for my other build I decided to use one of my engines that's been sitting idle on a shelf for almost a year now.

So along with some rusty angle profile and various bits of scrap I've started building something that will have some of you throwing holy water on your computer after viewing it.

Just a bit of fun.

Perfect name for the beast mate, you should get 'Feral' painted on it somewhere when your finished........

[Dirty_Vinylpusher]

Might just "write" it with the welder.

no garbage is safe near you is it?

Dang, cool work man!!!

[Dirty_Vinylpusher]

Thanks guys.

Yeah I only use bits that are readily available at the scrapyard so if I need to replace something I know I can get it the next day.
The only thing that puts a dent in the wallet is the radio gear, but there's not really any way around that I guess.

So far this build has cost me about $30.
Most of which was spent on welding sticks and grinder blades....

I will however rebuild the frame using 20x20mm (3/4") square tubing if this setup works ok and make it a bit neater.

Great stuff.

All of that is what makes them really yours. Keep up the great work!!!!

Got them from OVERSIZE RC.
Don't you remember my story on RCU about those wheels and what happened?

[bentley marshall]

i wouldint buy off oversize rc becouse they have a bad rep for slack service and riping people off

[Dirty_Vinylpusher]

I'll never buy from them again.
Didn't get ripped off as such but they weren't very helpful or keen to process my order.
Until I threatened to "take things further"....

I scored a pocketbike for $20 today.
Just got the motor going earlier and it should be ok I think with a bit of tuning.

I might just have to use the motor on this (or another) build.......

(Ignore the chainsaw muffler in the pictures)
