Title: what do u think? should i build it ?
Post by: dowork114 on June 08, 2009, 02:59:43 PM

well i have been thinking about this for about this for a while now. Well ever since i found out i was going to be a dad. Well my son is 4 months old now so i guess if im going to build it i need to get started.
Heres the idea:

Take a power wheels jeep body cut it up like a rock crawler (comp cut flat fenders ect ect)
build a custom frame set up with 4 link
build a custom set of soli axles with low gear high torque motors monted on them
for tires i would use a set of beach cooler tires (they have locking beads are very soft and can run very low a/p)
get a set of some small air shocks (like the ones on a storm door)
build a custom rollcage
use a car battery for the motors
 
what do u think? Should i do it or just leave it as an idea
check this one out

It's always cooler when you can sit back and say, "I built that"

That is cool but you got to have a locker.

Not going to lie, that would be pretty cool. I would love to have one of those to drive around campus with.

i have toyed with the idea of building one also, except with a weedeater/chainsaw motor.  i would wait it out a little though since the little one is only 4 months, let him get the concepts of driving it down in stock form then mod it out.
